Do you know Smart Coffee where customers are always lined up on weekends? Hotcake is very famous, and egg sandwich is also delicious. You can go from Shokunin.com Sanjo showroom in 5 minutes on foot. Yesterday, our Chinese staff ate it at lunch and said it was simple and very delicious. We are very happy to see enjoying the taste of Japan. If it's a weekday morning, it's not likely to be lined up, so please visit here.

[Restocked] Adachi Shigehisa Shoten's Wappa Seiro (Circular Steaming Basket)

Yamada in Teradomari, Niigata Prefecture, a region adjacent to the Sea of Japan, is home to the union of the sieve industry since the Edo period, and products such as a sieve, tea strainer, and steaming basket were actively produced.

Adachi Shigehisa Shoten inherits the history of Yamada and has now become the only long-established workshop of round wooden chip boxes in Niigata Prefecture. Their seiro (steaming baasket) persistently follows the traditional production procedure. Adachi Shigehisa Shoten continues to produce authentic products applying the inherited techniques.

A product comes alive only after they are used. The microwavable wappa (circular box) using no iron nails, was developed through multiple researches conducted by previous generations, under the policy to enable modern people to effortlessly utilize wappas. In 1991, the product received the Science and Technology Director Award.

Please enjoy the traditional techniques that live in our modern world at home.
