The scrubbing brush made of hemp palm is characterized by its gentle texture and firmness. Scrubbing brushes which have moderate hardness and firmness, remove stains without scratching the surface of dishes and utensils.
It is also ideal for removing mud from vegetables. By gently scrubbing the surface of vegetables with the scrubbing brush dipped in water, only the mud can be removed, leaving the skins intact. Please use this for vegetables that you want to eat with the skin, such as burdock and potatoes.
Handcrafted by artisans from carefully selected hemp palm bark fibers, the scrubbing brush can also be used for daily body care.
Everything arrived in good order as usual. I am very impressed by the Kiya sukiyaki pot and only wish I had bought it sooner as it is so versatile. The sasara brush does an excellent job of cleaning my cast iron wear without being harsh. I thought that the sasara would be similar to coconut brushes that I have bought elsewhere in the past, however, the sasara is vastly superior. J.N. from Australia

I was taking advantage of strong USD to Japanese ¥, and I am glad I did order many things! :-)
Everything arrived in less than anticipated time frame for delivery and is in perfect condition due to the efficiently and meticulously packed merchandise! I am still mesmerized how efficient Japanese way of packing so many items in this box with no space wasted, yet it is so obvious that it was done with TLC so nothing is damaged! I learned as I unpacked! Everybody needs to learn packing like Japanese! :-)
Opening the package was a great pleasure with a sense of anticipation and mystery even though I knew what I ordered. You could feel the TLC when unwrapping each item like it is coming from a good friend!
I felt confident as always ordering beautiful products from Shokunin, as they are of good quality which will last a long time if I take care of them well and hope could extend their life to the next generation. I kept telling my son that he would inherit those beautiful items ;-). Wish I could get everything they offer..:-).

This is the latest work in which the shape of the scrubbing brush has been reviewed from the very beginning. It is a fast-growing popular scrubbing brush made in pursuit of the functions required of a scrubbing brush, such as a comfortable size, no protruding metal fittings, and easy access to the edge of utensils. The bristles of the scrubbing brush fit well and comfortably into the corners of the cutting board as well. The inside of the earthenware pot can also be washed clean without scratching it. Winner of the Good Design Award in the Cleaning Utensils category for 2020.

The sarara is made of carefully selected high-quality hemp palms, processed into fibers, and carefully finished with a technique called "tsuzuri," in which a single stainless steel wire is used from the beginning to the end of the winding process. Unlike a scrubbing brush, in which each fiber acts as a point to scrape off dirt, the fibers of the "sasara" are bundled together to form a surface that removes dirt, so it can be used on Teflon-coated pans and pots without scratching them.

Scrubbing Brush for Frying Pan/Beech Handle
This is a special frying pan scrubbing brush. A small portion of hemp palm has a particularly hard part called "onige." This is the hardest scrubbing brush in the lineup of Takada Kozo Shoten, using only the onige. It can be used not only on iron frying pans, but also on non-stick coated pans, and even removes stickiness from clay pots and grill pans. When using on an iron frying pan, while the pan is still hot, scrub it with a scrubber at once while running it under strong running water.
