The Kurikyu tray for soba noodles is what you need to enjoy Japanese cold noodles the same way as in a high class soba restaurant. It is made of one sheet of Japanese cedar bentwood and the two ends have been fixed with solid and beautiful dark cherry bark. The upper part is made of bamboo straps bound together as a sieve for the noodles.
Japanese Odate Bentwood work is made of Japanese cedar cut into very thin slices. The wood is cooked in boiling water until it becomes flexible so that it can be bended into various shapes. The end pieces of the bentwood are fixed together with dark cherry bark, which not only makes a nice dark accent on the light wood but also creates a durable and natural bond.
Kurikyu Bentwood is known for its high quality Bentwood work typical for the city of Odate in northern Japan. The company is run by Shunji Kurimori who represents the sixth generation of proprietors. He received many awards for his craft and also exhibited in many countries outside of Japan.
Please wash the bowl with cold or lukewarm water after use. Remove oil with a mild detergent and use a soft sponge and dry it with a soft cloth. This bowl is not suitable for the dishwasher.
Please do not use boiling water when cleaning your Odate bentwood. Ideally, the crafts are washed with tepid water and tenderly wiped down with a cloth straight after. Scrubbing, brushing and the use of cleansers may damage the product.
Also avoid storing the product in direct sun light as this may affect the color.
Kurikyu was established in Odate in 1874. It is currently run by the 6th generation of the Kurimori family. Shunji Kurimori, who mastered the craft at the age of 18 and has won several awards for his craftsmanship. Hoping to spread the art his family and hometown specialized in, he has participated in exhibitions in Australia, England, China and the United States.
