Sori Yanagi stainless bowl 5 pcs

It's been driving me friggin’ crazy looking for mixing bowls that aren't cheap, made-in-China disposable garbage. I’m tired of buying trash made in China… or India… or Mexico. I'd thought I had finally found the set I was looking for a month or so back when I discovered the “Made in the USA” [by Vollrath] set, but was disappointed when it actually showed up. Very “thin” feeling, friggin' rough to the touch, and scuffed all over. Just didn’t feel high-quality, as I expected it would given the price (nearly a hundred bucks for the set). It just felt cheap. So, I kept looking, and it took me a long while. Anyone who searches for “Something that isn’t a cheap piece of Chinese garbage” knows how long it takes. I wanted a set that was made in my "Top 3" manufactures (all tied pretty much, no preference): USA/CANADA, Europe, or Japan. After a long while I finally found this. Made in Japan, so you know it’s a quality product. The feel is friggin' exquisite, you’re impressed just by holding it. Also to make sure the bowls are authentic [as of 2018, when I ordered mine] if you ordered from 3rd party sellers: Verify that that EACH (even the smallest bowl in the set) is marked: "Designed by Sori Yanagi”, and has the imprint you see in the pics.Again, these are the bowls I wish I’d found originally. It’s sad to see so many fundamental products being outsourced to China, India, and Mexico. I would happily pay a premium (even a steep one) for quality products made in the USA, Europe, or Japan.This… this is one of those products.Is it expensive? Yes: compared to alternatives manufactured with no standards, quality, or oversight. 3rd World garbage.Is it worth it? Yes.

I've seen these bowls before, they look really nice. And they are sold for $217. Then I found this for $100 here on Amazon. Considering Amazon has good return policy, I just pulled the trigger.Happy to say this is the real deal. They look exactly the same like what my local store has.The only crappy thing is the stickers. On the 2 largest bowls, they have this sticker attached to them, and the glue is so bad. It will leave a lot of glue residue.So, that sucks. But other than that, everything else is great.You can easily remove the glue by just using paper towel and oil.Anyway, I'm glad with the purchase. Though one time I saw the price was $90 I believe, while I bought it at $100. Not a big deal, it's still better than $217.

This set of stainless steel bowls are absolutely gorgeous. The continuous curve of the bowl makes for very smooth motion when folding in oil etc. There is only 1 thing I would say is a disadvantage. The same reason the bowl looks beautifully streamlined is the reason it loses some points ergonomically. There is no rim to grab hold of.

These are the most elegant stainless bowls and very well made. It says not to put in the dishwasher but I have been for a long time (I own three sets and use them every day) and have had not any problems from the dishwasher.

The five-bowl set feels really good in hands. They have a “heavy” good quality weight feeling, at the same time sleek and light to handle. These are pricey preparation bowls compared with other stainless steel bowls. But it all about how you feel when using them.

So glad to make the right decision to purchase it

Its the stuff after you owned it，u will want to have it earlier. Its well designed. I owned a set from muji for ten years. Recently get upgrade to this sori Yanagi set. It will be better use whole set all together！It helps me making salad and whisk eggs... Wash veggie... doing all the things around the kitchen. The size and the bowl angle are all designed so well，very handy！

Enough said. Stop looking elsewhere. These bowls are literally the best prep bowls you can have in your kitchen. Nothing else compares... now sing the song...

柳宗理の商品はいくつか使用しています。軽いし痛みにくい事を考えれば安い買い物だと思います。刻印が擦れ消えるまで使用しても使い心地が変わらず、一生使いたくなります。サランラップは確かに付きづらいですね。ただそんなことが気にならなくなるくらい気に入ってしまいます。ザルは確かに安物と良いものは違うんだろうなぁ、って思ってましたが、ボウルも全然違いますね。色々なボウルを買わずに早く出会いたかったボウルです。

お洒落でテンション上がります！早く出会いたかったです。
