Description
The LEESHIN spoon and chopstick set is meticulously handcrafted in Korea using premium domestic hardwood, carefully selected for its fine grain and excellent absorption of Ottchil (Korean lacquer). Each piece is coated and polished through more than nine rounds of Ottchil and water sanding, resulting in a smooth, elegant surface. You can use it with confidence, free from concerns about endocrine disruptors or harmful chemicals.
(Please don’t confuse this with cheaper cashew lacquer, which may contain formaldehyde and lead—both classified as Group 1 carcinogens.)
This model, LEESHIN “Yoon (潤) – Charcoal”, is finished with refined Ottchil, a high-grade lacquer that requires advanced craftsmanship and a lengthy curing process of up to 90 days. While more expensive, it delivers exceptional gloss and durability.
To enhance antibacterial and moisture-control properties, the handle is crafted by blending Ottchil with fine charcoal powder.

At first glance, I found myself hesitant about whether this spoon and chopstick set would really stand out in my kitchen. As someone who values both aesthetics and functionality from Bergen’s vibrant culinary scene, I’ve often dismissed finer tableware as just luxurious gimmicks. However, after using the LEESHIN ‘Yoon (潤) – Charcoal’ Edition for a couple of weeks now during family meals filled with laughter over homemade dishes—wow! The elegance coupled with practical balance has not only elevated our dining experience but made it remarkably enjoyable to engage over various Korean recipes. Moreover, knowing that I’m serving food on handcrafted items void of harmful substances is comforting—a delight coming right into focus each mealtime.
