Miso Tama Whisk
This is the holy grail of rice cookers. I’ve had mine for years and it’s perfect. I will be a zojirushi rice cooker girl til I die
Zojirushi Rice Cooker
I didn’t think I needed this, but now that I have it I can’t live without it. Having boiling water on demand is so nice for my hot tea and also for things like instant soup and ochazuke. I use this thing almost daily.
Water Boilers - Zojirushi

Le Creuset Enamel Steel Whistling Tea Kettle 1.7qt Cerise
I was skeptical about this dish rack but I understand the hype. It’s perfect for if you live alone. easy to clean, has a little drain spout, a spot for utensils, what else do you need? It’s also very aesthetically pleasing (I have the black one) and ...
