The "easy-to-roll pasta fork" found in NITORI is priced at 299 yen (tax included). A fork with a wavy tip that makes it easy to entangle pasta around the muffled part.


It ’s okay! I bought it thinking that, but immediately after that, I found a similar pasta fork at Daiso ... The price is, of course, 108 yen.


To be honest as a consumer, I would like the 299 yen fork to be a little easier to use. However, if the 108 yen fork does not change the usability, I would recommend this cheaper one to everyone. So, I compared using both!

● Small differences and ease of holding

Both are made of stainless steel and made in Japan. At first glance, it looks almost the same, but if you look closely, there are differences in the details.


First of all, the handle is slightly longer than NITORI, and the design is also elaborate. Daiso is simpler. Also, while the buttocks of NITORI are warped upwards, Daiso is warped downwards. Daiso is a little more profound, and NITORI may be easier to hold and fit.


The curve at the tip of the fork is slightly larger for Daiso (it faces upwards). The number of wavy shapes is the same, but in the middle of the three- pronged, NITORI is wavy, while Daiso is straight . Does this affect the ease of entwining pasta?

● How easy is it to eat pasta?

First of all, I will try carbonara, a representative of cream pasta that is relatively easy to entangle.





Both NITORI's fork and Daiso's fork were able to entangle the pasta firmly! However, this is still a beginner's edition. The thick pasta is easy to eat even with an ordinary fork, so this time I will try the smooth and familiar Peperoncino.




With a normal fork, pasta will fall off, but with a wavy fork from NITORI or Daiso, even if you entangle it and lift it up, the pasta will hardly fall off! It seems that it is firmly caught in the wave part. This is certainly easy to eat!



In addition, I did not feel any difference in the ease of entanglement if the center of the three-pronged part mentioned above was wavy or not. Both NITORI and Daiso are just as easy to use. However, if you want to raise your army to either side ... NITORI! I think the fit of the handle and the light feel when rolling the pasta were somewhat better.


However, Daiso's forks can be used without any problems. It's 108 yen, and if you don't care about the design and ease of holding, I think Daiso's is enough!
