Takanori Matsumoto Fashionable retro look! These are tongs-shaped chopsticks that are said to be the origin of chopsticks. The wood used for rituals in the past was processed into tweezers and is still preserved in the Shosoin Repository in Nara Prefecture, and is believed to be the origin of modern chopsticks, which are made by combining two sticks. The chopsticks are made from a single piece of bamboo that is bent by heat, giving them a stable and flexible shape that is useful for serving salads and fried foods on a large plate. The thick tips of the chopsticks allow them to be held firmly in place and are recommended for serving slippery beans and other foods. The retro-style ancient chopsticks are a stylish addition to any family dinner table or party. We hope you will enjoy these chopsticks for daily use or as a unique gift for your loved ones.
