How is the 'powder strainer' mentioned in the description different from a regular strainer?

Strainer is a general term for cooking sieves used to scoop solids from liquids or strain solid matter. Among them, a powder strainer refers to a dedicated tool fitted with a fine mesh to lightly dust fine powders like powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or flour without clumping. Unlike baking sieves used to sift large amounts of powder at once into a large bowl, it is used during the finishing stage of cooking to sprinkle small amounts of powder directly onto food.

It is smaller than a palm. SHIMOMURA's powder strainer has a mesh diameter of 5.7cm, a height of 3cm, and a total length of just 15.3cm^[1]. Sized to fit comfortably over the area of a teacup, mug, or a single small dessert piece, the powder settles neatly inside the dishware without blowing around outside. Made of rust-resistant 18-8 stainless steel, it is hygienic to use even when coming into contact with seasonings or moisture^[2]. It features a handle, making it convenient to tap lightly with one hand to adjust the amount, and it can be cleaned in a dishwasher after use^[3]. However, because it is in the form of a thin wire mesh, placing it near open flames like a gas stove can cause it to deform or damage the mesh from heat, so it should be kept away from open flames^[4].

hmmm, if a large sieve is a tool for prepping ingredients, this small mesh is closer to a finishing tool that neatly places powder on top of finished food.
