Lacquered Bamboo Chopsticks
天然竹製古代箸
A pair of high-quality chopsticks from Fukui Prefecture, shaped like tongs for easier use.
These chopsticks are crafted with a thoughtful design in Fukui Prefecture’s Obama City, a centre for the production of lacquered chopsticks. Made from bamboo grown in Kyūshū, these lightweight chopsticks are made with those in mind who are not adapted to using chopsticks. Their shape resembling tongs makes them easier to hold and grab food, and is particularly suited for children and those learning to use chopsticks.
Their surface is finished with a coating of urushi (the sap of Japanese lacquer tree), providing added resilience and protection, so you can enjoy these chopsticks for years to come.
Not microwave or dishwasher safe.

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.
