The Yoshikawa EAtoCO Nulu Butter Knife is designed for neatly shaving thin curls from even hard, chilled butter. Its longitudinal, angled holes form uniform "threads" of butter that spread more easily on toast and hot dishes. The serrated edge acts as a scraper for removing burnt bits from toast.
The seamless, single-cast construction makes the tool hygienic, as it doesn't trap food residue, and easy to clean. When placed on a table, the working part does not touch the surface, ensuring more convenient and clean use.
EAtoCO is a line of kitchen tools created to make the process of cooking and eating more convenient and enjoyable. The name derives from the idea of EAT + COOKING, reflecting the aim to blend kitchen utility and table setting in one cohesive style.
The series is designed so that the tools look harmonious both in the kitchen and on the dining table: clean forms, pleasant materials, and thoughtful details merge aesthetics with functionality. The tools are comfortable to use, easily transition from preparation to serving, and become cherished favorites over time due to their practicality and well-considered design.
EAtoCO products have been recognized with the Director's Award of the Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (2017) at the Japan Tsubame Industrial Design Competition – an annual contest that evaluates the best developments in metal products and design.
