Hi! I'm Kaori, one of the team members here at Hidari.

If you're like me, yogurt is a breakfast staple—or maybe a go-to snack during a busy day. But scooping yogurt from a large container can sometimes feel awkward, especially if you're using the wrong utensil. A long-handle spoon can make the process so much easier.

That's why I recommend our Left-Handed Long-Handle Dessert Spoon. This spoon isn't just convenient—it's specifically designed with left-handed users in mind. And yes, it's perfect for eating yogurt straight out of the container, too!

Let me walk you through the unique features of this thoughtfully crafted tool.

Crafted Precision with in Tokyo

 This dessert spoon is made in a Tokyo-based factory that has specialized in producing high-quality metal and plastic products since 1972.

While the original design was created for right-handers, growing customer demand inspired us to create a version tailored for left-handed users. The result is a spoon that feels natural in your hand and works seamlessly with your movements.

What makes this spoon unique is its asymmetrical bowl. Every detail of the design has been carefully crafted to help left-handers scoop with ease and precision.

・Angled back: Perfect for getting those hard-to-reach corners.
・Curved front and straight edge: Makes it easy to scrape every last bit from a container, whether it's yogurt, jam, or pudding.

Smooth Feel and High-Quality Craftsmanship

Although this spoon is made of plastic, its polished finish gives it an elegant look. The surface is smooth and glossy, reflecting the attention to detail in its design.

One of the standout features is how pleasant it feels against your lips. If you dislike the cold, metallic sensation of traditional spoons, this is an excellent alternative. I was amazed by how comfortable and luxurious it felt the first time I used it!
