Handmade Rice scooper

Yamazakura (Wild cherry blossom tree) rice scooper handcrafted by Iwakagu, a custom furniture studio based in Shizuoka, Japan.

Yamazakura, wild cherry blossom tree is one of the most prominent species of wild cherry trees. It’s known for its rich reddish-brown colour and smooth texture. Among cherry blossom trees, wild cherry blossom tree is particularly hard and durable, making it a popular choice not only for furniture but also for musical instruments.

This rice paddle features a thin, sharp-edged tip designed to gently serve each grain of perfectly cooked rice without crushing it. The handle is crafted with a smooth finish and a rounded shape, making it easy and comfortable to grip.

Its compact size is ideal for smaller rice cookers.
