About EAtoCO
EAtoCO (EAトCO, pronounced "ii-toko," a play on "a good spot") is a kitchen-tool brand from Yoshikawa Co., Ltd. in Sanjo, Niigata, part of Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan's best-known center of metalworking. The name joins EAT and COOK: tools designed to move freely between the kitchen and the dining table, made in Japan with the precision the region is known for.
"I want to get everything out of the pouch." "Squeezing by hand always leaves some behind." Shiboru solves exactly that.
1. W and V that interlock
The secret is the W-shaped and V-shaped jaws, which mesh firmly so you can squeeze the contents out cleanly with no waste. Use it for retort curry, pasta sauce, baby food and other pouches. It also works as tongs to lift a hot pouch out of boiling water.
2. Award-winning design
Thick stainless steel and an easy-to-grip handle, made in Tsubame-Sanjo. Shiboru received the Judges' Special Award at the Tsubame Industrial Design Competition 2023. Slim and sturdy, it is handy outdoors too.
