Teppon Gushi Bamboo Skewers, characterized by their flat, paddle-like shape, are a specialized type of bamboo skewer used extensively in Japanese cooking.
Their broad, flat surface makes them ideal for grilling delicate items like seafood and vegetables, providing ample support and preventing ingredients from spinning or falling off during cooking.
Chefs favor Teppon Gushi for yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), kushiyaki (assorted grilled skewers), and various street foods, as they not only ensure even grilling but also add a traditional and functional aesthetic to the presentation.
