Wooden Soup Spoon

I am a Wooden Soup Spoon. Deep enough to scoop up every last drop, round enough to feel just right. Whether it’s mushroom soup or a slow-cooked stew, I’m here to make every bite spoon-worthy.

Curator's Notes 

There's something inherently comforting about a well-crafted wooden spoon, and Ryuji Mitani's design exemplifies this warmth. With its deep, round bowl, this spoon is perfect for savoring hearty soups like a rich mushroom bisque. The generous curvature ensures each spoonful is satisfying, while the smooth finish feels gentle against the lips. Mitani-san's dedication to craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the hand-carved texture to the balanced handle that sits comfortably in the hand. This spoon isn't just a utensil; it's an invitation to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasure of a home-cooked meal
