This wooden ramen spoon, or renge in Japanese, is perfect for eating noodles such as udon, soba, and ramen. Made using traditional Yamanaka lacquerware techniques, the matte finish of the suri-urushi (wiped lacquer) coating enhances the beauty of the natural wood.
Each soup spoon is handmade, so there may be slight differences in finish and size—part of the warmth and charm of handcrafting. This lacquered wooden spoon is perfect not only for noodles, but also for other Japanese dishes such as tofu and soup.
Its timeless traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use, or entertaining guests.

Lacquerware
Japanese lacquerware, also called shikki in Japanese, is a proud handicraft with a long history dating back to 5,000 BCE, and traditional methods are still followed today. Durable, light, antibacterial, and robust enough to endure for more than one hundred years, Japanese lacquerware is not only beautiful, but also highly functional.
In addition to the fine Japanese lacquerware found in antique and vintage pieces, there is also contemporary Japanese lacquerware suitable for modern life made by artisans who continue to improve their skills and pass on tradition today.
