Speaking of Easter, "eggs" are also called "symbols of resurrection." Overseas, colorfully colored boiled eggs and sweets such as egg chocolates are displayed, and "egg hunts" are held in which children find eggs hidden in the garden.
It's a culture that hasn't taken root so deeply in Japan, but it's a good idea to celebrate the arrival of spring with "egg dishes". That's why this time we will introduce kitchen goods that are fun, delicious, and convenient to enjoy "tamago dishes" after Easter!
■ Sunnyside Egg Mold
A mold that makes fried eggs look like the Asahi. The yolk part is baked like the "sun" and the white part is baked like a "cloud". It is made of silicon and measures 13.8 x 11 x 2.4 cm. The price is 13 dollars (about 1,560 yen).
■ Sumo Eggs --Egg Cups
An egg cup with the motif of sumo wrestlers who tightened the mawashi. When you add the boiled egg, it looks like a fair-skinned sumo wrestler and is very cute. Mawashi is a two-color set of red and black. The size is 5.5 x 5.7 x 4 cm. The price is $ 16.99 (about 2,040 yen).
■ Yolkfish & YolkPig Egg Separator
This is an item that you can enjoy using when cooking, an egg separator that was talked about on the net a while ago. Yolkfish has a fish motif, and Yolk Pig has a pig motif. You can suck up the yolk at the "mouth" and separate it from the egg white. The price is 14 dollars each (about 1,680 yen). Unfortunately, the pig seems to be sold out now.
■ Ceramic Chick Egg White Separator
The egg separator I mentioned earlier sucked up the yolk, but this is a chick-shaped separator that spits out the white meat. If you insert the egg from the chick's head, you can remove only the white meat from your mouth, leaving the yolk inside. The price is 15 dollars (about 1,800 yen). However, unfortunately it seems that it is currently sold out.
■ Hard Boiled Egg Heart Mold
A mold that can shape a boiled egg into a "heart". If you can make such a cute boiled egg when you cook homemade food for your beloved family or lover, you will surely be able to grasp your heart. Made of plastic, it is also compatible with dishwashers. The price is 6 dollars (about 720 yen).
■ Sports Huevos Egg Shapers
A mold that can form boiled eggs like tennis balls, golf balls, and soccer balls. If you make it for sports lovers and children, it will be appreciated. Made of plastic, the size is 6.8 x 7.4 x 5.2 cm. The price is 14 dollars (about 1,680 yen).
■ Crochet Egg Warmer by Donkey Products
A key-knit egg warmer that covers eggs. In addition to "knit hats" and "masks", there are 6 types of "roast turkey" headgear. It's a good idea to put them on the eggs that you decorate on the day of Easter. Made of 100% cotton, the size is 5 x 6.5 x 5 cm. A set of 6 is priced at $ 65 (about 7,790 yen).

In addition, we have introduced items that can be used to make "skull" -shaped boiled eggs, and toys that rotate eggs to make pudding. Why not get it before Easter comes?
