From the 1990s to 2000s, Sori Yanagi designed numerous stainless steel kitchen tools to complement his pots and tableware.
Minimizing parts and using one-piece stainless steel construction, these tools were durable, easy to clean, and innovative for their time. Carefully shaped handles ensure a comfortable grip, while ladles are designed to scoop efficiently, pour easily, and skim ingredients or foam with precision.
This kettle was originally developed in response to Tokyo Gas Company’s post-war demand for a highly efficient water-boiling appliance. Its unique central heating structure increases the surface area exposed to heat, allowing water to boil faster while maintaining excellent heat retention.
Although the original Speed Kettle had a short production run, its innovative concept was later carried forward and reintroduced in 1994 as a stainless steel kettle—becoming a timeless classic that balances functionality with industrial design elegance.
