Japanese cleaning supplies guide

The art of the Japanese clean

In Japan, cleaning is seen as more than a chore; it is a way to respect your home and your tools. Japanese cleaning supplies are world-renowned for their durability, minimalist design, and incredible effectiveness. By using traditional materials like palm fiber and bamboo, these tools provide a superior clean while being gentle on your kitchenware.

Essential tools for every kitchen

The iconic Kamenoko sponge

If you are looking for the perfect everyday tool, the Kamenoko Sponge is a cult favorite. Unlike standard sponges that trap bacteria and lose their shape, this sponge features a high-quality, porous structure that dries quickly and stays hygienic. It’s the perfect blend of modern technology and traditional reliability.

The Sasara: the ultimate grater cleaner

Cleaning a fine ginger or wasabi grater can be frustrating. The Sasara, a traditional brush made of split bamboo—is the solution. Its stiff bristles easily remove food particles stuck in sharp teeth without damaging the grater or your hands. It’s also an essential tool for cleaning cast iron woks and pans.

Tawashi scrub brushes

The Kamenoko Tawashi is a staple in every Japanese household. Made from waterproof palm fibers, these "turtle" brushes are tough enough to scrub root vegetables or clean burnt-on food, yet they won't scratch your traditional Japanese tableware when used correctly.

Sustainable and effective

Switching to Japanese cleaning supplies isn't just about aesthetics; it's about performance. Whether you are using a Sasara to maintain your carbon steel or a Kamenoko sponge for your daily dishes, these tools are built to work better and last longer than their mass-produced counterparts.
