In recent years, the Japanese-origin "KATEI STORY" hanging sink drain basket has maintained steady popularity. Through meticulous attention to detail, it successfully resolves three core pain points of modern kitchen cleaning: low space utilization, inefficient cleaning, and insufficient aesthetics, becoming a top choice for urban households.
This drain basket adopts an innovative U-shaped hook system, which can be firmly fixed to sink edges with a thickness of 0.8cm to 2.5cm. It occupies no countertop space, eliminating the hassle of frequent movement and slipping associated with traditional products. Made of food-grade PP material free of harmful substances like BPA, its detachable bottom filter features 3mm precision mesh—effectively trapping food residues while ensuring smooth drainage. The 15-degree inclined design accelerates water drainage, the edge splash-proof structure reduces water splatter, and the non-slip silicone pad at the bottom prevents fruits and vegetables from sliding. Every detail has been optimized through hundreds of user tests.
Practical data shows that households using this drain basket save an average of 8 minutes per day on sink cleaning, totaling over 48 hours annually. The detachable filter allows direct disposal of residues, effectively preventing sewer blockages. Available in 6 macaron colors, the product features a foldable design (storage volume is only 1/3 of its usage size), balancing aesthetics and storage convenience. It has earned a 4.8-star rating on Japanese daily necessities review websites. Since its launch in 2023, the series has achieved a monthly sales peak of 20,000 units, capturing a 35% market share among middle-class households in Tokyo and setting an industry benchmark.
Its environmental performance is equally impressive: the reusable filter reduces plastic waste by approximately 2kg per year, and the brand’s trade-in program reflects its commitment to sustainability. Targeting the rising single-person economy, the brand has launched a mini version (25×15×8cm), precisely meeting young consumers’ demands for "space-saving" and "multi-functionality" and driving the development of related peripheral products, forming an ecosystem including silicone splash guards and segmented filters.
Today, this drain basket—integrating pragmatism and life aesthetics—has entered the Chinese market. Its smooth texture crafted with 0.01mm precision molds and durable performance (maintaining 92% material toughness after 3 years) demonstrates the core competitiveness of Japanese household products, bringing Chinese consumers an efficient and elegant kitchen cleaning experience.
