[Car Camping] It's okay to keep it packed in the car! A "small kitchen just for you" is born next to your beloved vehicle
I love camp food, but the prep is a hassle, and in the end, instant noodles become the default. With TOKYO CRAFTS' "Micro Kitchen Box" and "Ridge Kettle," you can have "your own cooking place" for car camping and camping.
Preparing cooking gear, I want to make it easier
This is something I've been thinking about lately. Yes, preparing cooking gear for outdoor use surprisingly takes a lot of effort (I’m sure camping enthusiasts can relate…). You have to gather and load the burner, table, and kettle, and then put them away separately when you get home. With all this hassle, you might end up wanting to settle for cup noodles or convenience store meals.
Recently, the compactness of camping gear has been advancing, and the two new items from "TOKYOCRAFTS" are at the forefront of that. They have a size that can be left packed in the car, helping to alleviate the little stresses around cooking.

A box that completes the cooking space just by opening it
First, let's focus on the micro kitchen box. It features a design where the burner stand and table are integrated into a stainless steel box, allowing the cooking space to be completed just by extending the frame. It's also clever that the lid can be used as a tabletop.
It accommodates both CB cans and OD cans, so you can make use of your existing burner. Additionally, it supports the IGT standard (an expandable frame system proposed by Snow Peak), which adds versatility in gear combinations. When stored, its dimensions are W360×D120×H250mm, and it weighs about 2kg, making it light enough to carry with one hand. It comes in two colors, beige and black, allowing you to choose according to the ambiance of your site.

A kettle that makes drip coffee enjoyable
Another ridge kettle catches the eye with its edgy flat silhouette and matte black finish. The full capacity is about 1.2L, making it just the right size for solo to duo camping. The narrow spout allows for delicate control of the water flow, making it perfect for those who want to enjoy hand drip coffee outdoors.
The folding handle comes with a stopper, ensuring stability when pouring is nothing short of perfect. It also has slits for hanging, making it an excellent match for campfire styles.

Leaving it packed allows for a wider range of options for the weekend
Both have an appealing size and convenience that can be kept in the car. On Friday night, you decide on a whim, and by Saturday morning, you’re brewing coffee at the campsite. With these two items, such a carefree weekend seems likely to become a reality.
