Tongs designed by Kazuho Shimomoto, a bamboo craftsman who is also a charcoal maker, utilizing the joints of bamboo. Easy-to-grip tongs that take advantage of the supple characteristics of bamboo. The gripping point has been cut into a corrugated shape to prevent slipping. Each tong has a unique appearance due to being smoked in a charcoal kiln. They have a warmth not found in metal objects and fit gently in the hand. They are useful for cooking and serving food. There are three sizes. The small size is easy to use even for those with small hands, the medium size is just right for sharing food, and the large size is convenient for grabbing relatively large items such as bread.
