Zutto Bamboo Chopsticks
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
These chopsticks feature the natural texture of bamboo, adorned with subtle indentations. They have a wider top and a narrower bottom but are overall thicker than standard chopsticks for easier handling. Despite their sturdiness, they are incredibly lightweight, making them ideal for those with a relatively weak grip. Zutto means "permanently" in Japanese, reflecting its lasting quality and timeless design.
The staff of Yamachiku invented these chopsticks because their grandmother was finding it difficult to use her old chopsticks as she got older. The thick handles and subtle indentations are shaped to make them easier to grip.
The chopsticks are finished with a highly durable natural lacquer coating to ensure long-term use. They are recommended for daily use and also make great gifts.
