辻和金網

Tsujiwa Kanaami has kept its wire-mesh craft for over eighty years since its founding. The mesh is woven by hand from fine wire, using only a nail-studded board and the maker's fingertips; because it is handmade, the wire thickness and mesh size can be adjusted to its use, and a piece worn out after years of use can be repaired. The signature tea strainer is known for its fine mesh and works for green tea, black tea and powdered tea, and a clogged inner mesh can be re-meshed. The hand-woven coffee dripper is conical, so poured water flows toward the centre and stays in contact with the grounds longer. The small copper-and-stainless tea strainer costs ¥4,400 including tax; the coffee dripper ¥7,700.
