The orderly beauty of mizuhiki never goes out of style, and it is also incorporated into tableware as a motif of good fortune.
*Please note that Mizuhiki is not waterproofed in order to take advantage of its texture. It is made by wrapping thread around twisted paper. If it gets dirty, please wipe it off with a cloth or tissue paper after use.
Hirohashi was founded in 1986 by Mikihiro Hirohashi, a temple carpenter, in his hometown of Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. The second generation, Makiko Nakaiso, inherited her father's passion and launched a new brand of chopsticks. The natural wood used is mainly Yoshino cedar, which is 60 to 100 years old. The original texture, aroma, and grain of the wood are the characteristics of the uncoated finish.
