Japanese Kitchen Tong Set
Four tongs, a grater spoon and a miso muddler, all made in Tsubame-Sanjo and all in one design. Each one does a specific job well, and together they look as considered on the counter as they feel in the hand. Every piece is made to be used.
Made in Tsubame-Sanjo
The tools are made by AUX in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, a town known for metalworking since the Edo period. Each pair of tongs takes its spring from a careful bend in the 18/8 stainless steel, so very little pressure holds food securely, and the tips lift clear of the counter when you set them down.
The six tools
- Fingertip Tongs. Compact, cupped tips for thin slices, breading and delicate pieces you would rather not touch.
- Mini Tongs. The smallest, for pickles, garnishes and toppings alongside rice.
- Grater Spoon. Grates ginger, wasabi or garlic, then stirs it straight into the pan or bowl.
- Measuring Miso Muddler. Measures 1 or 2 tablespoons of miso and dissolves it right in the pot.
- Serving Tongs. Slotted blades, so liquid drains back into the dish.
- Plating & Serving Tongs. Slim, smooth tips that support a piece from underneath, for careful plating.
Two ways to buy
Tools only. The six tools, each in its own box from the maker.
Gift box set. The same six boxed tools, packed in AUX’s half-moon gift box with a ribbon, plus a kaya cloth (fukin, a Japanese kitchen cloth) printed with a tongs pattern.
