Hi there, this is Kaori from Hidari!
If you cook and serve soup or stew often, you know how important a good ladle is. In Japan, many buffet restaurants and hotels use teardrop-shaped ladles. They’re clever because the pointed spout helps pour without drips, which is way better than the regular round ladles.
But here’s the thing—those ladles are usually made for right-handed people. For lefties, they can be awkward and frustrating. I’ve heard from plenty of left-handed friends and customers who struggled with this exact problem.
At Hidari, we’ve offered ladles that work for both hands, but many asked for a ladle that is specially made for lefties. That’s why we’re excited to bring you a ladle made just for left-handed cooks: the Left-Handed Side-Pour Soup Ladle!
Check out our Left-Handed Side-Pour Soup Ladle
Easy, Spill-Free Pouring for Left-Handers
This ladle is designed so the spout faces the right way when you hold it in your left hand. That means you get a smooth, controlled pour every time—no spills or mess. It holds about 75 ml (2.5 oz), which is a great size for serving soups, sauces, or stews without overfilling your bowl.
Made in Tsubame-Sanjo, a Place Known for Quality
This ladle comes from Tsubame-Sanjo in Japan, a place famous for making top-quality metal kitchen tools. The craftsmanship there is trusted worldwide.
It’s made from 18-8 stainless steel, so it’s tough, rust-resistant, and built to last through years of use.
Simple to Clean and Store
Because it’s made in one smooth piece, there are no joints or cracks for food to get stuck in. You can easily clean it by hand or pop it in the dishwasher. The handle is straight and practical, so it fits nicely in utensil holders. Plus, there’s a hole at the end if you want to hang it up.
Finding a high quality left-handed ladle like this is pretty rare, so this one is sure to make a nice addition to your kitchen.
