What practical role does a potato masher with a small 7cm head width and a handle on top play when actually used?
Compared to typical potato mashers, its small size may raise doubts about whether it would be inconvenient when cooking. One might wonder why they deliberately made the head small and raised the handle in a unique way.

It is sized to go directly into canned tuna or canned corn, and gripping the handle firmly from above helps you easily apply force even in tight spaces.
It measures width 7cm, height 13cm[1]. This masher from SHIMOMURA has a smaller pressing plate than typical potato mashers, so it fits directly into the opening of round tuna cans or canned corn[2]. Without having to take out a separate large bowl, you can insert the head straight into the can to drain oil or crush contents easily.
The handle is also gripped from above. Instead of a long handle extending to the side, it features a shape that allows you to grip the handle firmly with your hand from above[3]. Because you can press downward applying body weight without bending your wrist, force is transferred stably even inside a narrow can. Rust-resistant 18-8 stainless steel was used for the main body, which comes into direct contact with food ingredients and salt[4].
Whether it is dishwasher-safe and the weight of the main body have not yet been confirmed in official materials.
