A "drainer basket" that is necessary for washing dishes and one set. It has a decent presence and can overwhelm the work space in a small kitchen.
If you can't afford to leave it, you can also use a "foldable type". If you search for "drainer basket" or "folding" in an online store such as Amazon, many products will be displayed.
This time, I bought a silicon drainer basket for 2,090 yen. The size is about 31 x 37 cm, the height is 5.5 cm when folded, and 12.5 cm when used. The color is white x gray.
When using it, just pull up the four corners, and when folding it, just push it in with force. You can change the form in a few seconds.
A groove runs in the lower part of the inside of the basket, making it easy to stand tableware. The accumulated water flows from the drain to the sink along the drainage lane. The lane is movable 360 degrees, regardless of the direction in which the basket is placed.

It can also be used as a bucket by plugging the drain. It also helps to save water bills.
Easy to wash because it is simple. It is light and does not burden you when moving or storing it.
When you think of a drainer basket, you tend to think of the standard "stationary type / stainless steel wire type", but that takes up a lot of space. If you don't have enough space in your kitchen, why not look at the foldable / silicone option? It depends on the product, such as size and drainage method, so please examine it.
