Kokusen Large Chopsticks

These wooden chopsticks are made of ebony, a famous wood with a sense of luxury and dignity. The gold line in the center of the chopsticks adds a nice accent, giving them a simple yet modern impression.

Ebony has become increasingly rare over the years, and its use as a material for chopsticks is decreasing. The grain of the wood has been preserved, making the best use of the material's texture.

The chopsticks are long, sturdy, and easy to hold even for people with large hands.
