Cooking tools that breathe life into CIBI philosophy: Head, Hands and Heart. Appealing to our intellect, touching our senses and crafted with love. The simplicity of their design, functionality and attention to detail in their production make them a work of art yet suited to everyday use.

CIBI shares three kitchen tools to LOVE across your day. Breakfast: The semi-coarse mesh of the Miso Strainer allows the flavorsome solids of miso paste to dissolve, working a wooden pestle, whilst keeping out the larger koji rice. Lunch: The thick ceramic walls of the Kamado-san Donabe provide delicate care of our favourite grain, Akitakimachi, Japanese rice, light and fluffy, lovingly served at the table. Dinner: Seasonal vegetable goodness requires the services of a Nakiri Japanese knife. Designed with a thin spine to enable beautifully sliced vegetables to savour.
