Hirohashi was founded in 1986 by Hirohashi Mikihiro, a temple carpenter, in his hometown of Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. The second generation, Nakaiso Makiko, inherited her father's passion and launched a new brand of chopsticks.

While some of the chopsticks are made by machine, Hirohashi's craftspeople carefully finish them by hand to produce high-quality chopsticks. These chopsticks are used in restaurants, hotels, ryokan (Japanese-style inns), and ryotei (Japanese-style restaurants) all over Japan.

They use scrap wood, avoiding waste. Made of high-quality cedar, these chopsticks can be washed and used over and over again, making them suitable for both celebratory occasions and daily meals.
