"Comfortable to use, comfortable to display"

Mr. Nakanishi, who enjoys mountain climbing, originally made tools for outdoor activities.
He says he strives to create items that appear sophisticated and blend naturally into daily life.

This is a spoon made from maple wood.

Wooden spoons, gentle on the palate, are likely to be frequently picked up for daily meals, whether for soup, yogurt, or ice cream.

The bright and serene wood grain unique to maple is striking, and it blends subtly into any dining setting, regardless of the color of the food or tableware. The smoothly carved handle fits comfortably in the hand, allowing you to feel the warmth of the wood with every use.

Whether scooping yogurt at breakfast or enjoying a warm soup at night,
this is a piece that gently accompanies your life during those ordinary moments.

It is a tool that deepens in character with use, making you want to cherish and continue using it for a long time.
