Kona-Shoyu is a soy sauce powder, invented in 2013 by the chef of the Japanese restaurant Shimogamosaryo, located in Kyoto. This is not a semi-finished product, but a full-fledged seasoning: unlike the usual liquid sauce, it is more fragrant and also does not soak the dish, leaving the crunchy crunchy foods. The previous version of the packaging in the form of a bottle with a narrow neck was not very convenient: it was difficult to pour out the seasoning, moreover, the powder often poured past.

All this designers took into account the studio Nendo, creating a container in the form of a small bucket. Due to the wide “bowl”, the seasoning easily gets enough sleep and falls asleep again, and a convenient handle allows you to control the process with your wrist movement. The bucket form was chosen by chance and refers to Japanese traditions: at the same time it resembles a bamboo hysyak dipper, which is used in tea ceremonies, and woks for washing your hands in chazuya pavilions at Shinto temples.

A set with a container for sauce and seasoning itself can be purchased on the restaurant's website.
