A bowl with a freeform spout, a footed serving bowl, vegetable-shaped ceramic rests—Matt Card, our Creative Director of Recipes and Products, found these handmade dishes and more driving around Gifu, Japan. Now considered the top ceramic-producing region in Japan, Gifu is the mountainous prefecture home to Mino ware, a 1,300-year-old ceramic style known for its organic shapes, natural glazes and wabi-sabi philosophy.
Shop NowWith decades of experience behind their products, Suehiro is widely regarded as one of Japan’s top producers of sharpening equipment.

This easy-to-use sharpener is perfect for anyone wanting the simplest solution to keeping their cutlery razor sharp.
Shop NowThough upon first glance Aux Co. Ltd’s Gassiri Tongs seem just like any other pair, our kitchen team was blown away after testing them. The rounded shape makes it easy to pick up spherical items like meatballs, eggs or potatoes that may run away using a normal pair of tongs. But the sides of these tongs are what really set them apart—one is designed with slits and the other with a scoop that can hold about a tablespoon of liquid.
Shop NowAbsorbent and lightweight, these towels are dyed with a surprising ingredient: vegetable scraps. Japanese brand Shizuka collects scraps of specialty vegetables—water eggplants, Senshu onions, basil and carrots—and extracts their deep colors to create dyes. We like the sustainable, eye-catching towels thrown over our shoulders before busy days of prep, cleaning the kitchen or washing and drying dishes.
Shop NowMade only from pure, juicy trebbiano wine grapes, the vinegar is aged for a minimum of 12 years in oak and chestnut wood barrels, moving into smaller and smaller barrels as it ages to concentrate the flavor. The finished result is filled with complexity: rich, heady, sweet, earthy and tart with notes of raisins and umami. It’s perfect for finishing the most special dishes, like risotto and meats, beef carpaccio, homemade pasta, or drizzled over strawberries and cheese.
Shop NowWhen venturing into Indian cuisine at home, the bright, distinctive flavor of Kashmiri chili pepper is indispensable. This chili powder's fiery red-orange hue belies its relatively moderate spice—think hot paprika, not cayenne. Pure Indian Foods' product is especially fresh and aromatic, preserving the chili's herbaceous, delicate qualities. Its bright fruity flavor is especially delicious with pork dishes; use it for a simple spice rub with salt and pepper on roast tenderloin.
