I think MIL had given them to Satoshi when he lived in Hawaii.
We brought them back to Japan when we moved in 2001, they are a p.i.t.a. to clean, too many grooves and nubs....
As a replacement, I bought two of this type of dish dryer, from MUJI.
I also bought the plastic tray thingy to catch the dripping water because MUJI only sells the type of tray that needs to drain near the sink and I don’t have that kind of space, Daiso had them but 200 yen each.
And checked again before buying, cause I have been known to measure and then after buying it doesn’t fit
I decided to keep this thing, so that I'd have somewhere to dry our utensils.
Though I might get the matching cutlery basket from MUJI, since it looks like it dries things better (no “walls”)
I also have this over the sink type of basket, I brought with me when I moved to Japan.
Super easy to clean and it is pretty sturdy.

could you have cut the plastic to bypass the size?
as stupid as it sounds, one of the main reasons I think of for not buying property in Japan moving there is the stress of sorting trash and disposal of household stuff that we don't have to even think about here. So stressful.
Funny about your dish drainer because I've been trying to find the "right one" and nothing on Amazon or anywhere looks like what I want. I will look in Muji next time...looks exactly like what I've been looking for!

Throwing out trash in Japan is a whole different ballgame. 🤯
Probably could've V, but didn't want the mess of having to do that...Take care, Kat
Jalna, in other prefectures, they are way more strict! Take care, Kat
We have foldable metal one's Kat. Man, cutting stuff to size and all the effort cleaning....that sucks.
Kirk, it is a bit troublesome. Take care, Kat
