Premium KADO ICHIKA Sakura Wood Contour Blade Stick - Japanese Cooking Utensil for Sushi, Rice Cake & Bento Decoration - Ideal for Home Chefs & Professional Kitchens

Contour and blade cannot merely summarize the many designs this tool can be used to make.  In this innovative design, two sharp edges descend from the apex, one smooth, one bears a serrated contour.  In addition to the koi fish designs this serrated edge classically portraits, these edges and the sharp tip can be used to make impressive contours and patterns on wagashi materials such as nerikiri or konashi.

Made in Japan.

Material: cherry wood

Wagashi -- traditional Japanese sweets -- capture seasonality and imagery of nature in their aesthetics.  They are served before the bowl of matcha that concludes even the most elaborate kaiseki meal.  The specialty wagashi tools Gusta sources are from reputable makers.  They exhibit the craftsmanship that is respected also in wagashi making.
