This fine wooden spatula made from sakura wood (cherry) might be small in size but big in function. Use it to scrape the hard-to-reach corners of jam jars and butter containers, to spread marmalade or simply use for any other job a standard-sized spatula is simply too big for.
Yamasakura (Mountain Cherry Tree) grows in the northern region of Hiroshima Prefecture and is an excellent raw material for ladles and spatulas. Cherry wood is hard yet elastic and can easily withstand long-term use.
With use, the cherry wood will take on a more reddish shade, turning beautiful caramel color.
