We are a specialized chopstick manufacturer founded in 1921, with our head office and factory located in Obama City, Fukui Pref.
With the motto “Chopsticks are food,” we always use natural lacquer on the tips that enter the mouth, ensuring safe and reliable chopstick production.
Our artisans handcraft each pair of chopsticks. We also offer repair and re-lacquering services for the chopsticks you purchase from us. We propose sustainable chopsticks that allow you to use your favorite pair throughout your life.
We produce a wide variety of chopstick sets and chopstick-and-rest gift sets, and we accept small-lot orders for custom-made products.
Leveraging our woodworking techniques, we also take orders for custom wooden items such as straps and magnets.
We provide educational chopstick classes that cover topics such as the history and knowledge of chopsticks, how to hold and use them properly, and making your own personal chopsticks. Information about these programs is also available.
We craft chopsticks by repurposing broken baseball bats and offcuts generated during bat production.
In collaboration with NPB, we produce and sell chopsticks featuring professional baseball teams.
