Compact & Left-Hand Friendly Measuring Cup

Hi, I’m Kaori from Hidari.

Whether you’re preparing dinner, baking a batch of cookies, or brewing your favorite tea or coffee, there are countless moments in the kitchen when precise measurements make all the difference.

But for left-handed cooks, finding tools that feel truly comfortable and intuitive can be unexpectedly challenging. Take measuring cups, for example—most of them have markings on just one side, making it difficult to read when held in your left hand.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce the Stainless Steel Measuring Cup (200 ml, Ambidextrous Design). Thoughtfully crafted in Japan, this compact cup is designed to be equally easy to use in either hand, helping eliminate those little kitchen frustrations and making everyday tasks smoother and more enjoyable.

 

Designed for Left or Right-Handed Use

his measuring cup features spouts on both sides, so it pours cleanly and comfortably no matter which hand you use. The measurement markings are placed to face you directly when held in either hand, making it easy to check amounts quickly and accurately.

It holds up to 200ml (about ¾ US cup)—a perfect size for measuring small amounts of liquid. Personally, I often grab this cup when I need to measure seasonings. It’s my go-to tool for measuring out spices or small ingredients, and having it on hand makes those quick tasks much easier.

 

Scoop, Mix, and Pour—All With One Tool

The comfortable, slightly longer handle gives you a secure, balanced grip, even when using it with one hand. I love that it’s perfect for tasks like scooping flour or sugar straight from the bag, mixing ingredients right in the cup, and pouring without juggling extra utensils. No need for a spoon or separate mixing bowl—this tool does it all.

And when you’re done, the handle lets you hang it neatly from a hook or peg, keeping your kitchen tidy and saving valuable drawer space.

 

Crafted in Tsubame, Japan—Renowned for Metalwork

With its durable stainless steel body, precisely shaped spouts, and comfortable handle, this cup reflects the care and quality of Japanese manufacturing at its finest.
