๐ณ Cooking Measurement Converter
Convert between common Japanese cooking measurements โ tablespoon (ๅคงใใ, 15ml), teaspoon (ๅฐใใ, 5ml), cup (ใซใใ, 200ml), and milliliters โ and see the equivalent weight in grams for a selected ingredient.

How to use
- Enter an amount and choose a unit (tablespoon, teaspoon, cup, or ml).
- Select an ingredient (water, sugar, flour, etc.) to see its approximate weight in grams.
- Check the converted values in the other measurement units at the same time.
FAQ
Is the cup here the same as a US cup?
No. This tool uses the Japanese cooking cup, which is 200ml. The US cup is 240ml, so be careful when following recipes from different countries.
How accurate is the weight conversion?
The weight is estimated using an average density (g/ml) for each ingredient. Actual weight can vary depending on how the ingredient is packed or its temperature, so use it as a helpful approximation.
Can I use this if I don't have measuring spoons?
Yes โ since tablespoon and teaspoon amounts convert to milliliters, any container with ml markings can substitute.
Can it convert soy sauce or miso to grams?
Yes โ density values for several ingredients, including soy sauce and miso, are built in, so you can convert from spoons to grams.
Can I use this to scale a recipe up or down?
Yes โ just change the amount field and both the unit conversion and the weight recalculate, which makes scaling a recipe from 2 to 4 servings easy.
