Tawashi 山毛櫸柄鍋刷

This brush is my new favorite kitchen tool—the palm fibers are stiff enough to knock out baked-on grease, yet they've left zero scratches on my nonstick pans. Handles a full sink of dishes without losing its shape, and it dries fast so no funky smells.

Finally, a brush that actually scrubs my cast iron without scratching it. The palm fibers have held up perfectly through a month of daily dish duty, and the wooden handle feels much nicer in hand than plastic.
