7 Handy Daiso Kitchen Gadgets To Add To Your Kitchenware Collection

Daiso Japan might be one of the best places to shop for kitchen gadgets in Japan. Not only are their gadgets reasonably priced, but they also offer a wide selection of utensils and tools for cooking and baking. The Japanese Taste team recently visited the largest Daiso in Osaka, and we discovered many great kitchen gadgets that we’d like to share with you. Keep reading to discover 7 of Daiso Japan’s top kitchen gadgets to look out for.

Shamoji

One of the most basic kitchen essentials in any Japanese kitchen is the shamoji or rice scooper. It’s great to know that you can find these pretty easily in 100 yen stores like Daiso. You can find them in a variety of sizes and colors, but we noticed that these standing-type shamoji tended to be the most common.

Whisks (of various sizes)

Those who love spending time in the kitchen, whether it be whipping up sweet treats or other culinary creations (that require whisking) will be delighted to know that Daiso Japan has got you covered. Whether you’re whipping up a quick salad dressing, sauce, cake batter, or anything else, you’ll be able to find whisks in various sizes and materials like silicone and stainless steel. 

Measuring Spoons

Measuring Spoons are another kitchen essential that everyone should own, so if you don’t have a set yet, you can pick one up at Daiso Japan for a reasonable price.

Ladles

Ladles are an especially necessary kitchen item for those who make soups, stews, and curries. In Daiso Japan, you can pick up a ladle easily, but we were also surprised to see that they had ladles designed to be used with woks. If you cook with a wok often, it may be good to know that you can buy a wok ladle in Daiso Japan!

Butter Spreader

We mentioned this item in our article on unique Daiso Japan finds, but we really think it’s a fantastic kitchen tool, especially for those who frequently enjoy bread or toast. It’s a mess-free way to spread your butter!

Pastry Blender

We were a bit surprised to find a pastry blender at Daiso Japan, considering that pie is not exactly a traditional Japanese dessert. However, if you love baking pies, you’ll be pleased to know that you can find this handy pastry blender there.

Silicone Pot Stand

This is one of the more innovative kitchen items we found at Daiso: a silicone pot stand that can also double as a pot lid. If you’re looking for multipurpose kitchen tools or want to declutter, this silicone pot stand is perfect.

While Daiso Japan offers a range of useful and unique kitchen gadgets, there’s so much more to explore. To learn about other interesting Daiso items, be sure to check out our articles on Daiso Stationery, Daiso Skincare, and Daiso Snacks.
