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.

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 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.
