TSUBAME & Kalita Scoop

TSUBAME & Kalita Copper Plated Measuring Scoop 

BACKGROUND
Tsubame was traditionally known for its copper ware and the area continues to carry on its legacy   for tableware and cutlery productions.

MY THOUGHTS
It is pricey but looks undeniably gorgeous
The scoop costs JPY 1,619 (USD 15) at the time of purchase at Amazon Japan (Feb. 2019)
It is made of 18/8 stainless steel with copper plating (Note: not dish-washable) and measures 10g per scoop.
All surfaces and edges are polished smoothly. Copper plating shows absolutely no flaws and gives a very pleasant tactile feeling.
15 bucks for a scoop is rather pricey but if you appreciate a fine quality of anything, this one will suit your taste.

I tried No. 18 House Blend as it seems to be their main staple. I sense nutty flavor wi...
