If you are the tsukune queen, you need this in your drawer. The bamboo paddle makes portioning a dream allowing you to get up to Osaka-street-food-vendor levels of meatball production.

Fill the scoop with the meatball mix and use the spatula to push out the balls. This device minimises the handling of your balls so particularly good if you are plopping them straight into a broth or similar. Yes, it's a gratuitous description but we are going to roll with it. 

Bamboo products are extremely sensitive to moisture. After each use, hand wash with warm water and let to dry in a shady place.
