Light and easy to hold, this renge, or ramen spoon, is hand-carved with a tortoise shell design. Perfect for eating noodles such as udon, soba, and ramen, this Japanese soup spoon is also wonderful for other cuisine like tofu and simmered dishes.
The textured pattern is made by shaving the handle and underside for an effect that is not only beautiful but also helps prevent slipping. Coated with all-natural lacquer using traditional Yamanaka lacquerware techniques, anyone from small children to the elderly can use it safely. A convenient notch on the handle allows it to hook onto the edge of a bowl without falling into your soup.
Available in three elegant colorways—red with black accents, black with red accents, and natural wood—this ramen spoon’s timeless design is suitable for long-term use, daily use, or entertaining guests.

Crafts
Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a kind of lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen district of Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends wood grain's natural elegance with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.
With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka lacquerware incorporates a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.

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.
