Camphor wooden spoon 13 cm black for Chawanmushi

Chawanmushi, literally “steamed in a bowl” in Japanese, is a savory egg custard without milk. Cooking it requires a certain amount of skill, as the steam must not drip onto the custard. Aesthetics have always played an essential role in traditional Japanese cuisine, and tableware choice is just as important as ingredients choice.

While many other cuisines prefer a plain white canvas, Japanese chefs use plates, bowls, glasses, serving utensils, chopsticks, and spoons to enhance and complement the presentation of food.

Chawanmushi is eaten with an elegantly designed spoon. Its smooth, curved shape makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use, without damaging dish silky texture.

Materials used to make this spoon do not alter the flavors.
