These are shallow round bamboo colanders that can be placed on the table and used like plates to serve bread, rice balls, or noodles.


They come in four sizes: 27 cm (10.63″), 30 cm (11.81″), 34 cm (13.39″), and 37 cm (14.57″).

The material, Hachiku bamboo, has shorter nodes than Madake, splits more easily, and has resilience.
For regions where colanders are made by folding strips back at the edges, Hachiku is often used.
It is also used for making souke baskets in Toyama and bon-zaru in Sado.






Made in the same way as the strong commercial colanders,
this size of basket is finished with strength more than sufficient, always impressing us with its perfection.


Now, let us introduce the four sizes in order.









It works well for noodles such as soba, somen, udon, or Chinese noodles,
as well as for bread like toast or baguettes.

It is also excellent for rice dishes such as rice balls
and sushi rolls, fried foods like tempura, French fries, or karaage,
and even as a serving tray for hot pot ingredients.
In the sink, this round colander can also be used without worry
for draining freshly boiled noodles and then cooling them in water.
The slight depth greatly expands its range of uses.
The video below shows the 37 cm (14.57″) size draining and rinsing about 7.05 oz of udon.
If there is no oil residue, there is no need to use detergent.
After use, wash with a brush under water, shake or lightly tap the back to drain thoroughly,
and dry well in a ventilated place.


Once you start using it, you will be drawn to the pleasant feel of a bamboo colander.
Please choose your preferred size.

Devoted to Bamboo Colanders — Bringing Traditional Strength into Everyday Life
Once common in restaurant kitchens and school cafeterias,
bamboo colanders were essential for draining vegetables, washing noodles, and preparing rice.
Their lightness and quick drainage supported busy kitchens—but today, most have been replaced by plastic or metal.
Amid this change, there remains a craftsman in Aichi who continues to make the same sturdy, professional-grade colanders as in the past.
He has devoted his entire life to making only bamboo colanders — a rare dedication in Japan today.
He does not create baskets or decorative crafts, but focuses entirely on making tools that serve practical purpose in everyday life.
Working without machines, he shapes each strip of bamboo by hand and knife, weaving every piece with precision and strength.
The result is a colander that is robust yet graceful — durable, quick-draining, and increasingly familiar to the hand with each use.
A tool that naturally becomes part of daily living.
This craftsman, whom we have known since his predecessor’s time, is now of advanced age.
Yet the way his hands, feet, and knife move together in rhythm is the very image of mastery
— a lifelong harmony between person and material.
Through his steadfast craftsmanship — honest, functional, and built to last — you can feel a simple wish:
that these colanders continue to serve people’s kitchens for many years to come, as quiet companions to everyday life.
