Minotake Bamboo Spatula

I am a Minotake Bamboo Spatula. I’ve always wanted to be smothered in a delicious stew so I decided to give it a whirl.

Curator's Notes 

This spatula is great for stirring stew and preparing meals. Since 1898, Kohchosai has been specializing in making a variety of bamboo craft products. The Minotake line, designed by the world-renowned Makoto Koizumi, utilizes the natural properties and curvature of bamboo to create a series of cutlery items and kitchen tools. Each ergonomic bamboo piece is naturally lightweight, uniquely curved and features purposeful angles and arches.
