This is a rice paddle made from smoked bamboo.
It is crafted from Mōsō bamboo and Hachiku, and through the unique process of placing them into a high-pressure steamer or a charcoal kiln used for making charcoal, this rich character is created.
We affectionately call bamboo that has gone through this process “smoked bamboo.”











Nowadays, many rice paddles are treated so that rice will not stick.
Of course, such paddles are convenient as well.

However, when faced with the upright form of this rice paddle,
one feels that a little rice sticking is simply part of the long relationship between rice and the paddle,
and that it is not really a problem at all.

With its rich color, this smoked bamboo rice paddle
brings to mind freshly cooked white rice just by looking at it.
We would be delighted if you welcomed it into your daily life.

__Kazuho Shimomoto’s Bamboo Cutlery__
Mr. Kazuho Shimomoto, who runs his workshop in the mountains of Kōchi,
originally built charcoal kilns together with local people, using only earth and stone,
and made charcoal from oak and beech wood.
The beginning of his bamboo cutlery came when he hung up bamboo spoons he had carved himself
and exposed them directly to the heavy smoke from charcoal making, which gave them a unique finish.
From this experience, he went on to make bamboo cutlery smoked in the charcoal kiln in earnest.
Bamboo, which in some parts of Japan today is even regarded as a nuisance,
is cut down by Mr. Shimomoto himself in the mountains.
After applying heat treatment, he smokes it in his own charcoal kiln
and uses the deeply blackened bamboo to craft cutlery as tools for daily life.
The pieces he makes, though sharp in impression, also carry a certain calm thickness and roundness.
They are not only appealing to the eye but also gentle to the touch,
with a profound charm that is of course practical as well.
The longer they are used, the more the texture of bamboo softens and blends in.
While retaining their original “sharp yet calm” impression, they become more beloved over time,
adding a small touch of color to the daily table and to the mood of the person using them.
