A small cooking spatula with a thin handle and a top shaped to resemble a ginkgo tree leaf. Especially well suited for cooking in a small frying pan/pot (~18 cm). The shape is ideal for flipping pancakes, turning over okonomiyaki, hamburger patties, fried eggs, and so on.
Made from Yamasakura (Mountain Cherry Tree) that 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.
