TEMPURA FRYER "MIRAKUTEI II" - IRON - 20 CM - YOSHIKAWA
“Mirakutei II” iron tempura fryer (but not only!), 20 cm diameter, made by Yoshikawa in Japan.
Over there, it is used for tempura, karaage or korokke. Here, it will be ideal for making perfect homemade fries, fritters or churros.
Frying can often be daunting: too much oil, splashes, and ruined fritters. The Mirakutei is very practical and solves all these problems, thanks to the magic of Japanese craftsmanship:
- Small and deep, it requires much less oil than a conventional fryer: there is enough depth to submerge the food with a small volume of oil.
- Its thermometer indicates when the oil is at the right temperature, for golden and light frying.
- The lid doubles as a colander: the oil returns to the pan, so nothing is wasted.
- The splash guard prevents oil from splashing.
Made of iron with a thick 1.6 mm base, it is suitable for all heat sources, including induction. For frying only.

Yoshikawa, the metal of Tsubame-Sanjō since 1946
Tsubame-Sanjō, in Niigata Prefecture, is Japan’s major center for metalworking. It was there in 1946 that Yoshikawa Kinzoku, a metal merchant, began making spoons and forks from offcuts from a local stainless steel mill.
Now based in Yahiko, Yoshikawa designs its utensils and has them made by workshops in Tsubame-Sanjō. They are simple, robust items designed to last for many years.
