These fray-free towels come in several colorful patterns, so you can use them for practical applications or to add a touch of decor to your home.

It’s a unique gift for any pizza aficionado, and the bright neon colors add a retro look that will brighten anyone’s kitchen.

JapanBargain Citrus Juicer 

While you can juice average-sized lemons and limes with this Japanese tool, what sets it apart is a removable attachment designed for larger citrus. Thanks to this handy gadget, a refreshing morning shot of grapefruit juice will be a simple part of your routine. 

Inomata Sushi Mold 

A convenient tool for sushi night, bento boxes, or just lunch for the kids, this Inomata mold features three different designs in an all-in-one little gadget: a heart, a star, and a bear face. Customers say it’s easy to use and clean, and at only $5, this is a hard deal to pass up.

One customer commented that they use the trays “for everything from sorting to serving.”

Kotobuki Japanese Mortar Bamboo Brush 

This tiny brush is perfect for anyone who prefers freshly grated wasabi with their sushi. Made from natural bamboo, the brush can easily sweep grated ingredients without leaving bristles behind or adding unwanted flavors. One customer said they use the brush like a “mini broom” for ground seasonings and purées that may be otherwise hard to scoop. 

Shimomura Full Veggie Cabbage Peeler 

Unless you have a very sharp knife, julienning a large head of cabbage can be a bit intimidating. This niche peeler, made specifically for cabbage, makes the whole project stress-free. So, whether you are making coleslaw, tacos, or tonkatsu, your next meal will have cabbage so thin you’ll never need to reach for your knife or food processor again.
