Nami shares her 5 Must-Have Japanese Kitchen Tools in her new YouTube series Tea Time with Nami.
I’m starting a new series on our YouTube channel, Tea Time with Nami. In this series, I’ll be talking about all kinds of topics beyond my recipes. I’d like to take this opportunity to answer some of the questions you have and connect with JOC readers and viewers outside of making delicious Japanese dishes.

Fun and informative video. I really need a little skimmer like yours. Looking forward to more tea-time with Nami videos.
Nami
Thank you so much! 🙂

Hi Nami. Where can I buy the trays you use when prepping your food items? These are the white with blue edges.
Nami
Hi Debo! I bought mine from Amazon (https://amzn.to/2FUnxfB). Mixed reviews though, so please read before you purchase. Personally I am okay with this product. I use this for filming as well as my own home cooking. 🙂

Hi,
I love your site and use it quite often. I just watched your first episode of Teatime and have all the tools except a collapsible otoshibuta. I have a fixed size. I checked online and don’t see a source for the one like yours. Did you find it in CA or Japan?
thanks
Nami
Hi Paula! Thank you so much for using my site often! My otoshibuta is from Japan. I go home every summer, so I just got one at grocery store or kitchen store (forgot) for $8-10.
I’ve been looking for otoshibuta on Amazon for years now, but can’t find it. Today someone left a comment on YouTube saying eBay sells it. It might go away but there is another online shop that sells it:

Thank you!~ I wish you could also say where one might purchase these tools … I have not seen them in Asian Markets I frequent. But I’ll look harder!
Nami
Hi Barbara! Mostly Amazon. I put the shop links here on my Shop page:

Do you have these five tools anywhere on the site? You didn’t list them below the video, and I couldn’t get all the names down. Thanks!
Nami
Hi Ruthie! Thanks for your feedback! I just added all the links in the description box below. 🙂

I was hoping your favorite five might include Benriner. And of course how to avoid cutting your fingers.
Nami
Hi Hblnk! That’s a good choice! But it’s not something I would use daily to cook Japanese food. It was hard to pick just five items though. So I focused on things that Japanese home cooks and I would use to cook most of Japanese food. 🙂

Fun having tea with you! 🙂 Love those long chopsticks — what a neat tool for cooking! Thanks so much.
