Ami jakushi

Ami jakushi (網杓子) is a skimmer used in the Japanese kitchen.

[1] The skimmer is made from a fine wire mesh and is used to remove small pieces of unwanted food or foam from a liquid.

For example, in deep frying, the ami jakushi is used to remove small drops of batter during the frying of tempura.

Another example would be the removal of foam from a miso soup to achieve a more pleasing aesthetic.
