Let’s be real: not every cooking day is a calm, candle-lit, mise-en-place dream.
Sometimes you're filming four recipes at once. Sometimes you’re batch prepping for the week while juggling client calls. Sometimes you're just trying to make dinner while your brain is full of unfinished edits and voiceover drafts.
On days like that, your tools matter more than ever.
At Ukiyo Productions, we work with creators and culinary professionals who need kitchens that support momentum. The following prep tools are small, smart, and designed to help you move faster, cleaner, and more confidently — even when the sink is full and the content clock is ticking.
These five tools don’t just function. They stabilize your process.
Supoon Mini by Dreamfarm
This isn’t just a spoon — it’s your secret weapon for scraping, scooping, and tasting on the go.
The Supoon Mini features a flat front edge that scrapes like a spatula, a deep bowl for scooping sauces or small batches, and a handle that props the spoon off your counter to avoid mess.
Why it saves the day:
- Easy to grab with one hand
- Perfect for small pots, blenders, or ramekins
- Stays clean even during long prep runs
Ideal for content creators who need a go-to tasting tool between takes — or anyone who just wants less counter cleanup.

Dreamfarm Fledge Cutting Board
Flip. Prep. Flip again.
The Fledge is a dual-sided cutting board with flip-up edges that catch chopped food or juice. It also includes non-slip silicone feet, so it stays still during fast chopping sessions.
It’s a lifesaver during high-output days when cross-contamination and ingredient mess are a real threat to flow.
Misen Chef’s Knife
When you’re rushing, a dull or unbalanced knife creates drag — literally and emotionally.
The Misen knife cuts cleanly, rocks smoothly, and feels balanced even when your hand’s on autopilot. It turns slicing into a relief, not a stressor.
And because it holds its edge, you won’t find yourself reaching for a sharpening steel in the middle of your third shoot.
Spina Colander Spinner
Instead of juggling colanders, salad spinners, and bowls mid-prep, the Spina does it all.
Rinse and spin greens, herbs, and even berries directly in the sink — without cluttering the countertop. It’s compact, collapsible, and fast. Exactly what you want when you’re running 2–3 recipes at once.
Knibble Cheese Knife
This compact, non-stick cheese knife slices soft cheeses, avocados, or melty desserts without sticking. It also has a built-in fork tip for plating or serving — saving you from switching tools while multitasking.
Its compact size and smooth edge make it great for stylized plating work and casual prep — ideal for days when you’re both cooking and styling your own shoot.
When the Kitchen’s Moving Fast, Your Tools Should Too
You can’t control the chaos — but you can prepare for it.
The right tools give you better grip, faster transitions, fewer wipes, and way more peace of mind. When you’re working with gear that actually supports your pace, you get through even the messiest kitchen days with a little more grace.
At Ukiyo, we help creators and food professionals design systems that reduce friction and encourage creative momentum. If your kitchen tools aren’t holding up under pressure, we’d love to help you upgrade your flow.
Because good content — and good food — is often made in the mess.
