Nagomi Bamboo Chopsticks

These beautiful, easy-to-hold chopsticks are a shorter version of Yamachiku's long-selling Ganko Bamboo Reusable Chopsticks. These chopsticks feature a wider top and a narrower bottom, with the upper section adorned in different colors and silver cherry blossom designs. The lower section retains the natural texture and grain of bamboo. 

The decorative portion has a matte finish, reflecting a soft sheen and offering a smooth, comfortable grip. They seamlessly blend aesthetic appeal with high functionality, making them both beautiful and practical to use.

Bamboo chopsticks are easy to grip and have a moderate smoothness and lightness. The lightness and flexibility of bamboo make it easy to pinch food, as the chopstick tips are thin but stable.

Yamachiku

Yamachiku is a Kyushu-based manufacturer specializing in bamboo chopsticks. The region's warm climate provides ideal conditions for bamboo, with Kyushu accounting for about forty percent of Japan’s total forested area of bamboo. Since its founding in 1963, Yamachiku has remained committed to creating products that fully utilize this versatile material. While bamboo can be challenging to work with, the company’s deep knowledge and expertise have allowed it to craft durable, high-quality chopsticks with precision.

Bamboo Crafts

Bamboo has been actively planted throughout Japan for centuries. Flexible, strong, and versatile, bamboo is an indispensable part of Japanese culture and daily life.

The plant plays a crucial role in Japanese tableware, used as the base material for chopsticks, tea ceremony tools, and lightweight, portable items like baskets and bento boxes.

Young bamboo can match the height of mature bamboo in just three months, and completes its growth in just three years, making it a permanently replenishing natural resource.
