This is a “slim tawashi” made from shuro palm fibers.

Tawashi brushes made from natural shuro palm have fibers with just the right firmness and flexibility.
They can be safely used on delicate items such as glassware, cups, or non-stick pans without scratching them.

When carefully selected, shuro fibers are soft enough to use even for body care, gentle to the touch on the skin.

Their soft texture and resilient bounce are unique to shuro palm.

A tawashi is also an important tool for caring for baskets and colanders. Its bristles easily slip into the weave, sweeping away fine dust and scrubbing out hidden dirt.

Even basket artisans who work with akebi vine or wild grape often say, “Nothing cleans a basket like a tawashi.” We also recommend this brush for basket care.

Whether scrubbing dishes or vegetables, or polishing baskets and colanders, the tawashi has long remained an essential tool in the kitchen and home.

On this page, we introduce this slim-shaped tawashi in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

With the gentle softness of shuro, it removes dirt while leaving vegetable skins intact.
Washing potatoes, carrots, or burdock roots becomes surprisingly enjoyable.

Basket artisans who work with akebi vines say this shuro tawashi is their favorite tool.
They use it daily to brush off dust.
They also say that brushing with the tawashi
before stroking the basket by hand brings out the shine more quickly.
Please give it a try yourself.

After use, remove any debris caught in the bristles, shake off the water thoroughly,
and hang it with the attached string or place it on a draining rack to dry.

The slim type takes up little space, whether stood upright or hung.

You might find it convenient to use different sizes for different purposes—
one for washing vegetables or colanders in the kitchen, and another for brushing baskets daily.
That way, you can quickly care for your tools whenever you notice them.

Please check the sizes and choose your preferred one.
