Small kitchen tools can make a big difference in your daily cooking routine. The Kajidonya Prep Strainer brings thoughtful Japanese design straight to your counter. Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, a region famous for high-quality metalworking, this 18-8 stainless steel strainer (12-mesh) helps you soak, strain, and drain ingredients without pulling out oversized equipment.
Built with a sturdy 0.47mm thick wire mesh, this durable piece resists warping and features integrated feet for effortless washing. It comes in three convenient sizes. Size 9 measures about 9.5cm across, ideal for soaking a quarter of an onion. Size 11, around 12cm across, is perfect for half an onion or straining egg mixture for smooth, evenly colored tamagoyaki. Size 13 measures about 13.6cm across, holding a head of broccoli or a full onion.
All three sizes nest neatly inside one another for compact storage, and they pair seamlessly with Kajidonya prep bowls, so you can stack strainers and bowls together and keep your kitchen shelf tidy. They are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup, though not meant for microwave, oven, IH, or direct flame use.
Minor surface lines or weld marks may appear on the stainless steel, showing the authentic manufacturing process behind Tsubame-Sanjo craftsmanship.
