Suri Urushi Dessert Spoon

a very different but pleasing spoon experience

the contours of this spoon are friendly to the touch, a completely different kind of experience than spoons make of metal. the smooth curve of the handle fits into fingers in a different way, and for a westerner, accustomed to something else, seems to make one more aware of the act of bring food from a bowl to one’s mouth. even the thickness of the bowl is a revelation … it all makes me slow down more and pay attention to the feel of the action of eating and to the food itself. the spoon is beautiful, lightweight, soft to the touch in a very human way, and i have no doubt that it will be a lifelong companion at the table. i now use it with any meal that needs a spoon.
