Yamachiku Zutto Bamboo Reusable Chopsticks 24 cm (9.4 in)
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, a manufacturer of bamboo chopsticks, is located in Kumamoto Prefecture. They cut bamboo one by one from the surrounding mountains and use a combination of hand and machine processing to produce purely domestic bamboo chopsticks.

About Yamachiku Bamboo Chopsticks
Yamachiku is a Kyushu-based factory that has been specializing in bamboo chopsticks for many years.
Bamboo grows well in warm areas, and Kyushu prefecture accounts for about 40% of the total area of bamboo forests in Japan.
For half a century since its predecessor established a bamboo material factory in 1963, Yamachiku has consistently worked to make products that make the most of bamboo.
As a natural material, bamboo is difficult to process, but because Yamachiku is a manufacturer with a thorough understanding of bamboo's nature, they have succeeded in producing many high-quality bamboo chopsticks.
About Japanese Wood Craft
In Japan, 70% of the land is covered with forests, and there are said to be as many as 200 species of trees, including coniferous trees such as cedar and cypress, and broad-leaved trees such as zelkova, chestnut, and horse chestnut, that are used for construction and woodworking. Japanese wood crafts are made by making the most of the characteristics of the wood from each production area. For example, bamboo crafts in Kyushu, Japanese cypress products in Gifu, and cedar products in Akita are famous.
Woodworking techniques developed along with tools, giving rise to a variety of woodworking techniques such as sashimono, carving, gouging, grinding, bending, and hooping. The skillful use of tools such as axes, machetes, planes, saws, chisels, and files in Japanese woodworking supports not only the lives of people but also the cultural heritage of temples and shrines. The elaborate techniques that have been cultivated over a long period of history are highly regarded around the world.
