Kaba Wood Soup Spoon by Craft KOCHI

Order via Japan Rabbit

Scoop up your favorite hearty minestrone or clam chowder with this handcrafted birch wood soup spoon from Craft KOCHI. Weighing a featherlight six grams, it has a silky, fine grain that feels remarkably smooth to the touch. The handle curves gently where your thumb and index finger rest, so it sits comfortably in hand and makes scooping easy, while the flat underside lets it rest steadily on the table. Because wood naturally resists extreme temperature transfer, hot soups stay gentle on your lips.

Craft KOCHI was launched in 2017, after its maker studied woodcraft in Oketo Town, Hokkaido, with the goal of creating warm, functional cutlery meant to be an everyday dining companion. Each spoon is individually handmade, so every piece carries its own wood grain, shade, and subtle character that deepens with age. A clear urethane coating adds durability, protecting the wood from water and everyday scratches.

Measuring approximately 17.0 cm long and 3.5 cm wide, this light birch spoon pairs effortlessly with all kinds of dinnerware. To maintain its beauty, avoid the microwave, oven, dishwasher, and open flame; simply wash it gently by hand with a soft sponge and neutral detergent, then store it away from direct sunlight.
