Morikatsu is a unique hybrid of a towel and a sponge. It is highly absorbent, durable and can be used for a variety of kitchen cleaning tasks. Being the perfect blend of towel and sponge, it excels at cleaning, drying and much more. It's also a very useful accessory when sharpening knives, as it can both absorb and retain the optimal level of water. Therefore, you can easily wipe your blade clean, as well as squeeze water on your whetstone as needed.
Morikatsu also works well for cutting board maintenance, both applying moisture as needed to the surface, as well as easily and quickly wiping the surface to remove debris. This is especially important with hinoki wood cutting boards, but works just as well with rubber cutting boards too.
The morikatsu towels are durable and reusable. And with limitless uses, the towel makes for an indispensable kitchen accessory, as is the Flat-Sided Spray Bottle, which is a great companion piece.
Overall, I love little accessories that can significantly improve daily kitchen tasks. This towel is one such item because It easily absorbs excess moisture from countertops, cleans and dries dishes, and overall dries quickly. But I especially love these towels for their ability to moisten and/or wipe clean my hinoki and rubber cutting boards.
