Hi, I’m Kaori from HIDARI.
Whether you’re cooking dinner, baking a treat, or brewing your favorite tea or coffee, there are countless moments in daily life when measuring ingredients accurately really matters.
But for left-handed cooks, finding tools that feel truly comfortable and intuitive can be surprisingly challenging. Take measuring cups, for example—most have markings on just one side, making them hard to read when held in your left hand.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce the Stainless Steel Measuring Cup (200ml, 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
This 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, helping you 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 for measuring seasonings. I personally find myself reaching for it often when measuring out spices and other small ingredients. Having this compact cup in my kitchen makes those quick tasks much easier.
Scoop, Mix, and Pour—all with One Tool
The slightly longer handle provides a secure, balanced grip, even with one hand. It’s great for scooping flour or sugar directly from the bag, mixing ingredients right in the cup, and pouring without needing extra tools.
When not in use, the handle can hang neatly on a hook, making it easy to store without taking up precious drawer space.
Crafted in Tsubame, Japan—Renowned for Metalwork
This cup is made by Kobo Aizawa, a family-owned manufacturer founded in 1922. It comes from Tsubame, Niigata, a Japanese town known worldwide for its exceptional craftsmanship in metal goods.
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.
A Go-To Tool for Everyday Measuring
Whether you’re trying out international recipes, baking with precision, or simply brewing the perfect cup of coffee, this measuring cup offers a smooth, stress-free experience—especially for left-handed users.
If you’ve been searching for a tool that just feels right in your hand, this might be the one to add to your kitchen.
