Mocomichi Hayami's Aesthetic Resides in the Kitchen. "MOCO'S KITCHEN" New Colour & Vita Craft Restock Create a Buzz
Known as one of the entertainment industry's foremost "cooking men," Mocomichi Hayami’s influence now extends beyond TV dramas and variety shows, reaching our very own dining tables. The other day, as I was passing by a kitchenware store, I was once again struck by his significant presence when I saw a sign at the entrance reading "Frequented by Mocomichi Hayami." And right now, among his curated selections, items that carry a particularly premium feel are once again drawing major attention.
Elevate Your Table with "Cutipol GOA" in a Special Order Colour
First on the list is the collaboration with Portugal's prestigious cutlery brand, Cutipol. The talk of the town is the special order colour, Beige, personally selected by Hayami himself. This exclusive hue isn’t part of the regular lineup – it’s a colour you can only get your hands on here.
The Cutipol GOA series is irresistible for its organic form and the perfect balance it offers when held. While the classic silver and black are beautiful, this beige is truly exceptional. It’s not too white, not too brown, and its ceramic-like matte finish blends seamlessly with both modern and traditional Japanese tableware. According to those who’ve seen it in stores, many say, "Once you see it, you’ll want to get the dinner fork and table fork, and even the dessert knife to complete the set." This is truly the magic of the "Mocomichi Hayami Special Order Colour Cutipol Goa Beige" series.
The Aesthetics of "Vita Craft" and "MOCO'S KITCHEN" in Your Kitchen
And another collaboration you can't miss is with the long-established American cookware brand, Vita Craft. Hayami’s produced items possess a unique charm – beyond their functionality, they simply look great just by being in your kitchen.
- Vita Craft Mocomichi Hayami Grill Pan Bordeaux (Vita Craft #208): Known as the "Moco's Kitchen Grill Pan." That signature bordeaux colour instantly elevates your mood for cooking. Its ability to create perfect grill marks is truly top-notch.
- Vita Craft Frypan 26cm (Mocomichi Hayami Produce): This is the ultimate "lifelong" frypan. With excellent heat conduction and durability, it's a favourite even among professional chefs. The size is just right, and it’s renowned for handling everything from daily stir-fries to steaks with just this one pan.
- Enamel Mini Tempura Pot Double Handle 16cm Bordeaux: This one is just adorable. Perfect for those living alone or when you want to whip up a small batch of tempura or fried foods. The double handles provide stability, and the bordeaux colour adds a pop of character to your kitchen.
The common thread among these items isn't just that they were "created by a celebrity," but the overwhelming sense of practicality and a design that satisfies the desire to own something special. As Hayami himself conveys through his brand "MOCO'S KITCHEN," these tools transform the act of cooking, the moment you hold them, into something extraordinary. It’s because his aesthetic is woven into every detail that once you start using them, it's hard to go back to anything else.
Why All the Buzz Again Now?
Recently, there's been a surge in people eagerly awaiting restocks. Especially for the Vita Craft 26cm Frypan and the Cutipol GOA Beige series, which were in short supply for a while, many are likely keen not to miss this opportunity.
Personally, I bought one of the Vita Craft grill pans a few years ago, and the thickness and heat distribution were truly impressive. It made cooking foolproof and so much more enjoyable. While Hayami might often be associated with the image of "manly cooking," I feel that his sincere dedication to cooking, expressed through these kitchen tools, resonates with many people, regardless of gender or age.
If you're looking to upgrade your daily cooking to a more luxurious level, now is your chance. Go see the items in person at a store, feel the quality, and experience how they fit in your hand. You're sure to gain a deeper appreciation for the value of "time spent at the table" that Hayami holds dear.
