This stainless steel mesh strainer features an ultra-fine mesh, perfect for skimming off fat, froth, and other impurities from the surface of soups and stews. It is also great for scooping stewed ingredients, testing noodles for doneness, and even straining tea leaves.

The stylish handle is wrapped in akebi, a traditional Japanese vine, adding a natural warmth and tactile charm to the kitchen. A red synthetic leather strap offers a pop of color and allows for easy hanging storage.

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.
