Hello, this is Kaori from HIDARI.
When it comes to serving soups and stews, a reliable ladle is essential.
In Japan, you’ll often find teardrop-shaped soup ladles in buffet-style restaurants and hotels. This unique design, which features a pointed spout on one side, allows for precise pouring with minimal drips—a clear advantage over traditional round ladles.
A common teardrop-shaped ladle widely used in Japan, designed for right-handed users.
However, these teardrop-shaped ladles are typically designed for right-handed users, making them awkward for left-handers to use. In fact, many left-handed customers in Japan have expressed their frustration with them!
At HIDARI, we’ve primarily offered ambidextrous soup ladles in the past, but we've also received requests for a true left-handed teardrop ladle. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Left-Handed Side-Pour Soup Ladle to our collection!
Smooth, Precise Pouring for Left-Handed Users
Designed specifically for left-handers, this ladle ensures that the spout faces forward when held in the left hand. This allows for a controlled, spill-free pour every time.
With a generous capacity of approximately 75ml (2.5 oz) per scoop, it's perfect for serving soups, stews, and sauces with ease.
