Ttyokzk Poire (Pear) Sugar Jar
Handmade in small batches, this porcelain and wood pear-shaped sugar pot is made in Japan by ceramic designer Tatsuya Okazaki. Designed to store sugar, spices or salt on your kitchen counter or on the table, it has a “stem” that looks like a lid handle but is actually a built-in wooden spoon. The spoon handle fits through the center of the lid for easy scooping. Available in two colors in limited quantities, each pot is slightly different due to its handmade nature.
Shupatto Foldable Tote
Cleverly designed in Japan, meet the Shupatto: the “one-pull” foldable bag. A perfect replacement for single-plastic bags, the slim-profiled Shupatto folds down neatly, so it’s easy to take on the go to carry groceries, shopping and baked goods. To open, the folded accordion pleats expand into a roomy bag; to quickly close, pull both ends of the bag until taut pleats form again, then roll back into a coil for storage. The Shupatto is made from lightweight (just 69 grams) durable material, too; when tested by the makers, the pleats still folded perfectly after 100 cycles in a washing machine. And the quick-drying material can handle wet or messy items, too. The Ougi print features a traditional Japanese folding hand fan. The Sakura print features a classic cherry blossom motif.

Cheese Grotto Mezzo
Inspired by the caves used for centuries by cheesemakers to store their wheels and wares, this cheese grotto is aptly designed to preserve the food’s freshness, aroma and taste using natural materials and careful climate control. It’s handmade from Baltic birch with breathable bamboo wood shelving to prevent premature molding and contains a clay brick humidifier on the bottom that, when soaked in water regularly, regulates moisture (no more crumbly cheese!). An adjustable back panel and special air channels promote extra breathability. Plus, you won’t waste any more plastic wrap on cheese that’ll only make it slimy. Also, the plexiglass windows and pull-down door let you easily access and keep an eye on your cheese. Includes a 2oz bottle of mineral oil to help care for the wood. Holds up to 2 pounds of cheese.

Its two removable shelves help to accommodate wheels and wedges of all sizes, while the plexiglass windows and pull-down door let you easily access and keep an eye on your cheese. And for budding cheese makers, this grotto can also be used to age homemade cheeses thanks to its air channels. Includes a 2oz bottle of mineral oil to help care for the wood.

Marna Good Lock Salt and Sugar Container — Set of 2
Designed in Japan, these countertop salt and sugar containers keep seasonings fresh and prevent clumping with their clever design: Each bin comes with a silicone rubber gasket that forms an airtight seal to help keep moisture out. The sleek bins open with a single touch of a button—even when tightly closed—so you can season without stopping what you’re doing. Each bins comes with a built-in “scraper plate” and spoon for easy scooping: Just fill the included measuring spoon (it holds about 5 mL or a single teaspoon) then scrape it against the plate as you exit the bin for precise portioning. And you can lean the little spoon against the scraper to keep it from falling into the bin and losing it in your salt or sugar.
The clear-sided containers make it easy to see when you need to refill; as a bonus, the bins come apart for easy cleaning between them. Each container holds roughly 12.5 ounces of salt, sugar or spices. Available in white and gray; sold in sets of two.
