Rice Resin Spoon Set

Like most East Asians, the Japanese eat almost everything with chopsticks, especially rice. There is though one type of rice they eat with spoons and this is the rice served with curry, arguably (and for many, surprisingly) the most popular and soul-foody dish in Japanese cuisine. The best spoons for curry rice are long and thin. Just take a look at the three utensils in the Rice Resin Spoon Set and you'll get the picture. What you won't get, though, is that these spoons have a special story that also involves rice in a very different way!

The spoons in the Rice Resin Spoon Set, which are available either all in vermillion or one each in mustard, dark green, and persimmon, are made by a special biomass resin made of rice! Their manufacturer, Biomass Resin Marketing, is based in Niigata Prefecture, one of Japan's major rice-producing centers and specializes in products made of this special rice resin to contribute to the effort of reducing the CO2 emissions that are related to plastic. Enjoy your curry rice (or any other dish) with these sturdy 195 x 35 mm (7.7 x 1.4") spoons, and do a little something for the environment too!
