Kokubo Kogyo Japanese Kitchen and Cleaning Accessories

Kokubo Kogyo is a Japanese manufacturer specialising in practical household and kitchen accessories. The range covers everyday kitchen tools, antibacterial cleaning sponges, and portable utensil sets, all made in Japan with the kind of considered design that makes small tasks noticeably easier.

Kitchen Tools and Gadgets

The kitchen tool range includes a scoop colander that drains and serves in one motion, a wide-edged spatula for turning pancakes and omelettes cleanly, a deep soup ladle, a sifter spoon for dusting icing sugar or cocoa over baked goods, a pizza cutter with a palm-wrap handle for steady downward pressure, and a ring-style jar opener that fits lids up to 8.5cm across. There's also a flower egg mould that reshapes boiled eggs for bento boxes and kids' lunches.

Cleaning Sponges and Holders

The Kokubo Kogyo antibacterial sponge range comes in two types: a quick foam version that builds suds rapidly for tackling grease, and a quick dry version engineered to release moisture faster after use to reduce the bacterial buildup that happens in a constantly damp sponge. A value pack of 12 small sponges is also available for general use. The suction-mount sponge holders keep the sink bench clear and the sponge elevated for faster drying between uses. The antimicrobial cup cleaner reaches the base of mugs, bottles, and tall glasses without getting your hands wet.

Portable Utensil Sets

The 4-piece portable utensil set includes a fork, knife, spoon, and chopsticks in a compact carrying case, made from BPA-free materials. A practical option for work lunches, travel, or reducing single-use plastic cutlery.
