A simple and precise tool for dissolving miso like in Japan.

Product description
The technique
Place a portion of miso paste into the basket, dip it into the hot dashi, then stir gently using chopsticks or a spoon: the miso dissolves gradually through the fine double mesh, with no lumps or residue.
Why it’s different
A deep stainless steel basket for lightness and durability, with a light wood handle secured by two metal rivets for a firm grip that keeps your hands away from the heat of the bowl.
Why this version instead of a simple strainer
The tight, fine mesh serves a specific purpose: dissolving miso without altering its texture or leaving residue in the broth. This double sifting allows you to control the strength of the miso as you stir, rather than adding it all at once, and the wooden handle gives it a warmer feel than an all-stainless steel version.
Why I chose it
“I chose this version because it takes a very simple tool and gives it a more pleasant dimension for everyday use. The wooden handle provides a warm grip and gives the object a different presence. It's the kind of small detail that might seem secondary, but contributes greatly to the pleasure of using a utensil regularly.”
You’ll love it if
- you regularly prepare miso soup and want an object that is comfortable to hold
- you appreciate the contrast between light wood and stainless steel
- you are looking for a utensil that can also be used to skim broth or strain fine liquids
It’s probably not for you if
- you are looking for the most compact model possible (see our 70mm miso strainer, which is smaller)
- you never cook miso soup
In practice
Stainless steel basket and double mesh, wooden handle secured with metal rivets. Rinse immediately after use with hot water to prevent the miso from drying in the fine mesh; dry the wooden handle to prevent it from warping due to moisture.
An object designed to last
The stainless steel ensures the durability of the basket; simple and regular maintenance of the wooden handle (immediate rinsing, thorough drying) will preserve the item over time.
