Pop Japan

Still can't learn how to use chopsticks? Then try this innovative utensil, a "spork" designed by Masami Takahashi, a Japanese designer and art director, and made by Noritake.

In 2007, Sugakiya Japanese ramen chain hired Takahashi to recreate the spork, a combination of both spoon and fork, two of the most widely-used tools in eating. She created the radius of the spoon bigger than other sporks.

Spork is used by the customers of this restaurant as a unified tool of getting the noodle pasta (fork), and the sip the soup itself.
