Also called a spoon. A small tool used to scoop up liquids, powders, medicines, etc. and carry them to the mouth or into a container. In the West, spoons have been made from wood, shells, stone, and bronze since ancient times and used for cooking. However, food was mainly eaten with the hands, so there were no personal spoons. In the Middle Ages, people carried their own spoons when traveling, and in the 19th century, knives, forks, and spoons were prepared for each person. In Japan, rice spoons were used to serve rice during the Heian period, and later tea spoons used to scoop matcha (green tea) and medicine spoons used to prepare medicines were made from wood or bamboo, but now Western-style metal spoons are widespread. There are large table spoons, dessert spoons for fruits and desserts, small tea spoons, and long-handled soda spoons, and they are made of silver plating, chrome plating, stainless steel, etc. Note that a tablespoon is 15cc and a teaspoon is 5cc as a standard for cooking.

匙(さじ)とも。液体,粉末,薬物等をすくって口に運んだり容器に盛るのに使用される小形の道具。西洋では古くから木や貝,石,青銅などでスプーンが作られ,調理などに使われていた。しかし料理はもっぱら手で食べたので,個人用のスプーンはなかった。中世になると自分用のスプーンを旅行などに持ち歩き,19世紀になってナイフ,フォーク,スプーンが人数分用意されるようになった。 日本では平安時代に飯を盛るのに飯匙(いいがい)が用いられ,その後,抹茶(まっちゃ)をすくうのに使用する茶匙,薬の調剤に使用された薬匙などが木や竹を材料に作られたが,現在では金属製の洋風のスプーンが普及している。大型のテーブルスプーン,果実・デザート用のデザートスプーン,小型のティースプーン,長柄のソーダスプーン等があり,銀めっき,クロムめっき,ステンレススチール等で作られる。なお料理等の基準としていう大匙1杯は15cc,小匙は5ccを標準とする。
