My Favorite Cooking Tools

Washoku cooking doesn't require specialized equipment. But proper kitchen tools can make some tasks easier—and more fun.

The kitchen tools that I use are listed here. Some are available at specialty stores, such as MTCkitchen.com or Marukai stores. Others are available through Amazon. If you order through the Amazon links below, I earn a percentage of the sale from qualifying purchases.
