✔︎ No import fees & duties - worldwide |
Elegant, full of character, and here for the snacks — just like the cats we love (and serve). With a purrfect pair like this at the table, you can let the chopsticks do the talking.
Presenting a nostalgic yet modern vibe, these chopsticks feature bevel-cut ends with retro-inspired design. The simple overall design ensures that all attention is drawn to the tensoge — the diagonally cut end of the chopsticks. It highlights the wood’s natural grain and adds a sense of visual movement and direction to each piece. Whether resting on a chopstick stand or placed beside a bowl, this detail brings quiet sophistication to every meal.
The pointed tips are typical of Japanese-style chopsticks, perfect for picking up smaller or more delicate bites. Combined with the anti-slip finish, these chopsticks handle even slippery foods like noodles with ease.
Crafted in Japan by Kawai—a lacquered chopstick specialist founded in 1943 in Obama City, the heart of Japan’s chopstick-making tradition. All Kawai chopsticks are made using the traditional Togidashi method—a 400-year-old Japanese lacquer technique known for its refined patterns and exceptional quality. Each pair undergoes multiple rounds of lacquering, a process that can take up to six months. Rooted in tradition yet designed for today, Kawai chopsticks combine timeless craftsmanship with everyday practicality.
