Grooved Tip Non-Slip Chopsticks

Designed for effortless control, these chopsticks use grooved tips that combine flat faces with fine channels. The geometry securely catches smooth, slippery foods like soft-boiled eggs or konnyaku (konjac jelly), and holds noodles like udon or soba with surprising control.

The handle blends two tactile finishes—lightly textured and smooth—so it settles naturally in the hand without slipping. When you pick them up, the corners at the tips meet cleanly by design, supporting precise movements and refined table manners while making it easier to grasp every bite.

Finished in a high-durability urushi lacquer, they balance everyday function with a quietly polished look. Available in six colors: navy, red, grey, light blue, light brown, and beige, so you can choose the tone that suits your table.

Ishida

Ishida is a creator of Wakasa lacquerware, a traditional art of Obama in Fukui Prefecture that dates back to the early Edo period (1603–1868 CE). With over eighty years of experience, Ishida continues to honor this rich tradition.

By focusing on materials, design, and texture, they create chopsticks that are both beautiful and functional. Rooted in skilled craftsmanship, Ishida has also developed advanced machinery to produce chopsticks of high quality while remaining cost-effective. Their products harmonize tradition and innovation along with warmth and precision.

Wakasa Lacquerware

Originating in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, Wakasa lacquerware has flourished for over 400 years and today accounts for over 80% of Japan’s lacquerware chopstick production. Its signature technique embeds abalone shell and eggshell into layers of lacquer, polished to reveal patterns inspired by the ocean floor.

While rooted in traditional craftsmanship, Wakasa lacquerware also meets the needs of contemporary life. Each piece embodies both tradition and functionality, bringing understated elegance to daily use and refinement to special occasions alike.
