A coffee measure designed by Kazuho Shimomoto, a bamboo craftsman who is also a charcoal maker, utilizing the joints of bamboo. It is large enough to scoop about 10 grams of coffee beans or powder. Each coffee measure has a unique appearance due to being smoked in a charcoal kiln. The handles have a warmth not found in metal objects, and the comfortable handles are easy to grip and fit gently in the hand. It is also pleasant to see it change with age, becoming coffee-colored each time it is used. It can also be used as a small plate with condiments or appetizers, as it stands on its own while keeping a good balance.
【Kazuho Shimomoto】Shimomoto was born in Kochi in 1978 and is revered for his production of everyday objects made with bamboo and charcoalIn 2001 he set up a kiln in his hometown, the former Kagami Mura. His bamboo works are both strong and flexible, and their distinctive color is achieved through a smoking process.
