This aluminum ladle, featuring a hammered finish and vine-wrapped handle, is functional as well as beautiful. The tsuchime, or hammered metal pattern, brings a touch of warm elegance, while the akebi vines wrapping the handle bring a touch of Japan’s nature into the kitchen.

The embossed metal on the interior of the scoop is created through numerous hammer strikes for a textured effect. The vines that wrap the handle are a traditional material that offers a no-slip, comfortable grip. Each vine-wrapped handle is carefully crafted—soaked in water and tightly bound by hand—resulting in a refined texture that ages beautifully over time.

Available in small (7.3 in), medium (9.8 in), and large (11.4 in) sizes, this ladle is a versatile choice for all your stewing and serving needs. The medium and large sizes include a hole in the end of the handle for easy hanging storage.

Seamlessly transition from kitchen to dining table with these Japanese ladles.
