The chopsticks of Daikokuya are handmade by skilled craftspeople who specialise in Edo Kibashi – a type of chopstick first created in Tokyo over a hundred years ago, which uses carefully selected woods of the highest grade. Heptagonal chopsticks are said to be the most stable and comfortable to hold, and are therefore easy to use. The heptagonal angles of 51.4 degrees are, however, difficult to carve by hand and require utmost precision from the craftspeople who utilise this precious natural material.
Not dishwasher safe.
Please wash after use with a soft sponge and wipe with a dry cloth.
Avoid leaving in direct sunlight as the colour and shape might change.

The Kantō region is densely populated and home to a third of the country's population. It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
