A Knife That Changes How You Feel About Cooking: Our Staff's Favorite Sumikama Bread Knife and Bunka Knife (Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife)
The kitchen knife—an essential tool for everyday cooking. Because it stays closer to your hand than any other kitchen tool, it's only natural to want one that cuts well and looks beautiful, too. This time, we share the story of a staff member who loves using the bread knife and bunka knife from sumikama's kasane series, designed to fit comfortably in a woman's smaller hands.

[ZUTTO Exclusive] San Gabriel, to carry for every occasion through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Tips and tricks for choosing and carrying a vintage bag in a fresh, elegant way.
A promotion at work, returning to the workplace after having a child, moving house, children becoming independent—somehow, whenever life goes through a change or reaches a turning point, we find ourselves wanting a "bag." And naturally, if we're going to choose one, we want something we can use all year round and love for a long time to come. This time, through the [Special Order] San Gabriel made by vasco, a brand well-versed in vintage bags, we'll look at how to choose and use a bag that becomes your own personal vintage.
Use it for meal prep or as an oven dish—saving time and cutting down on washing up. Falcon's enamel trays and dishes
Cooking and eating inevitably come with a lot of dishes to wash afterward, and that's tough on whoever has to do the washing. The thought of a big pile of dishes waiting after a meal is enough to make anyone's spirits sink. So let's think about how enamel trays, bowls, and plates—tools designed to reduce that very washing-up burden—can be used to go straight from "cooking" to "serving," without extra dishes in between.

Happiness is having something delicious to drink ready and waiting the moment you feel like a drink. Especially now, when what you crave is something cold—wouldn't it be wonderful to brew tea in the morning and still enjoy it cold, whenever you like, right up until evening?

Ways to use Kurashiki canvas multi-cases for every scene. Their slim profile, which slips easily into the gaps of your bag, is part of the appeal.
It's not something you need every day, but on days when you visit the hospital, or on payday when you go to update your bankbook and make transfers, or whenever you need to carry more cards than usual—how do you all manage that? This time, we'd like to introduce a multi-case from Kurashiki Hanpu (canvas). As the name suggests, it's a slim case that can be used for all sorts of purposes, and its appeal lies in how easy it is to carry around.
# Umbrella Research: Enjoying the Sunshine with a Parasol
The days when the sunlight starts to feel strong on your skin are here. When you go out, an umbrella becomes essential, but instead of simply "blocking" the sun, why not think of it as a way to "enjoy" the sunlight?
A parasol isn't just a tool for protecting yourself from UV rays and heat—it can also become a stylish accent that adds a touch of color to your outfit. Depending on the fabric and design you choose, the same summer light can look completely different, and the walk itself can become more enjoyable.
In this feature, we introduce parasols carefully selected with both function and design in mind, so you can find one that suits your everyday life.
An umbrella is both an everyday necessity and a fashion item. Parasols and sun-and-rain umbrellas are items that many people find difficult to choose. Learn about their functions and effects, and find the perfect parasol for you.
Comparing summer white T-shirts. They may look alike, but each is subtly different—so which one is right for you?
白Tシャツ, an essential piece for summer style. Clean and crisp, it's the kind of item you can wear with a settled, easy feeling. Nothing forced, no reaching beyond yourself—just a piece that lets you be who you are. Even among classic white tees that look similar at a glance, subtle differences in length, neckline design, and fabric thickness can make a real difference in the overall impression. Why not take this opportunity to find your white tee for this summer?
# How to Make Time for Yourself: Quiet Evening Moments Spent with Small Lights and Gentle Scents
Two items I'd recommend for resetting yourself within the same everyday space of your home are "light" and "scent." Used well, they can transform both the atmosphere and the flow of time, making it easy to create a moment to slow down and face yourself.
At-home work outfits are best when they "look put-together but are actually relaxed and comfortable." It's also a great chance to try adventurous fashion choices you can only get away with at home.
I imagine many of you are still working from home, a situation that began unexpectedly and has simply continued on. If you used to commute to the office in a suit, you may be wondering what exactly you should wear now that you're working at home. Loungewear feels too relaxed, but it's not quite the same as putting on a shirt either. So what kind of clothing helps you shift into "work mode" while staying at home? We decided to ask ZUTTO staff members who have long experience working remotely for their answers.
