Introducing the Lightweight and User-Friendly Rakukaru Frypan Series from Kai Corporation

Unveiling the Rakukaru Frypan Series

On November 4, 2025, Kai Corporation, a global knife manufacturer based in Tokyo, will launch the much-anticipated Rakukaru Frypan Series. This line focuses on the concept of being incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, aiming to enhance the cooking experience for everyone. Available on Kai's official online store and various specialty and mass retailers across Japan, this series promises to deliver both style and functionality in the kitchen.

The Rakukaru Frypan Series offers a comprehensive lineup that includes four different frying pans, ranging in size from 20cm to 30cm, as well as two sizes of stir-fry pans, 24cm and 28cm. This new series has been developed in response to the growing popularity of lightweight frying pans, which saw a significant increase of 180% in domestic shipping values compared to the previous year. With increasing consumer preference for easier-to-use cookware, this series aims to tackle one of the top concerns identified in a survey regarding frying pans—weight.

Design and Features

The Rakukaru Frypan features a matte finish with a marbled non-stick coating that enhances the sliding ability of ingredients, making cooking and cleaning a breeze. Home cooks can enjoy hassle-free meals without worrying about food sticking to the surface. Additionally, the frypan series is free from specific PFAS, ensuring safety for users of all ages.

The exterior design incorporates a beautiful gradient of blue tones, with each size having its own unique color while still providing a cohesive aesthetic. This design choice not only makes the kitchen visually appealing but also provides functionality through increased stability during cooking.
