This set of five soft spoons from Sansho is designed to be gentle on the mouth, with a bowl that is long and shallow so it slips in easily without needing a wide bite. Because the spoons are molded from polypropylene rather than metal, they are lighter than a stainless steel spoon and will not carry the faint metallic or sour taste that some people notice with metal utensils.
The spoons work across a wide range of foods, from hot dishes such as donburi, curry, fried rice, and soup to cold items such as pudding, and the surface has a matte, finely textured finish. The set includes one spoon in each of five colors, rose, orange, pink, green, and blue, and it is dishwasher safe. Made in Japan.
