Sori Yanagi Stainless Steel Tongs

Simple and elegant, these go perfectly well with the way I've set up my kitchen space. I also purchased the perforated version. I was unaware of Sori Yanagi, but he has an interesting industrial design history that I had fun reading about after buying these. His father was the founder of Japanese folk crafts movement (mingei), which celebrated the beauty of everyday objects, something that I require in the objects that I choose to allow into my space. I'm glad I needed new kitchen tongs so that I could learn something new about product design in the process.

I use these for so many things. They are very sturdy and not at all flimsy. Seems to be great quality stainless steel so far.

Took a long time to get so order early. Sleek design, brushed stainless. Very nice. Great gift.

I first discovered these on Amy Sedaris’ gift idea list on New York Magazine’s The Strategist website. I’ve now purchased three of these tongs—two without holes and one with. They’re very attractive, and I love them for serving food (especially on a buffet table). There are better choices—longer grippier, and more maneuverable—for cooking, however. But none of those are as attractive as these for serving.

Definitely made in Japan (it's etched on the tongs). I use mine to cook steak in the kitchen mostly. The same tongs with teeth might be better, but I think these are the best tongs I have for it right now. The simple no-hinge design really helps to keep them clean. The metal is nice and heavy - not flimsy.

Great Japanese quality. It is pretty enough to use as a serving tongs. Solid stainless steel piece.

Very convenient and easily grips slippery foods like noodles. Ergonomic and doesn't spread so widely that it's hard to grip.

Reasonably priced. Great design. Have purchased a few of them.

Géniale ! elle comble toutes les lacunes de la cuillère et de la fourchette, un ustensile complémentaire qui devient vite indispensable. Saisir des oeufs dans l'eau bouillante ou des patates chaudes, servir des légumes, etc... Seule la pince à spaghetti est plus efficace pour...les spaghetti. + Pince simple, belle, efficace et pratique + facile à laver et hygiénique (pas de mécanisme) + prix correct - livraison longue (un mois) - On ne peut plus s'en passer après l'avoir essayé ;-)

I just love these. Yes, I know they are pricier and you are paying for the ‘designed by Sori Yanagi’ but it’s a wonderful thing when something is both useful and beautiful. I’m using them for loads of foods,, regardless of whether the things I’m picking up even need draining - most tongs are fairly large/long so these are the perfect ‘handy’ size.

Era quello che cercavo, pinze solide ma morbide nello stesso tempo. Qualità professionale hotellerie made in Japan. Pinze da avere!

It has now become one of the tools I use most often in my kitchen.

¡FANTÁSTICAS! ¡Lo mejor, de lo mejor!
