Thank you for making a wonderful comment. We are so grateful for your kind words. We are looking forward to your next visit.
United StatesJust what I was looking for
It's a lovely and dainty design with just the right size. Perfect for both Japanese(thin and tapered) and Chinese(thick and round tipped) chopsticks. One thing I would like to point out is that it's flatter than I expected, which means it doesn't create the best angle to lay rest or to pick up the chopsticks, in my experience.
