This aluminum perforated 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 versatile holes allow for both scooping and serving, a must for any kitchen. Skim fat, strain noodles, check for doneness of stew ingredients, or serve dishes. With the stylish metal embossing and vine handle, these ladles transition seamlessly from kitchen to dining table.

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.
