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.

Chūbu
The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
