Located in Tsukuda, Chuo-ku, a five-minute walk from Tsukishima Station in Tokyo, Lacquer Art Nakashima's "Edo Octagonal Chopsticks" are octagonal to the tip and can grip the corner of a konnyaku.


Edo Hakkaku chopsticks are handmade one by one using fantastic blue ebony, redwood ebony, real ebony, striped ebony, specially selected ebony, rosewood, and ironwood, and no chemical paints are used. In addition, maintenance such as re-sharpening the chopsticks is free of charge.

The Edo Hakkaku chopsticks are priced at a very reasonable price, so I always fantasize about buying them for a commemorative occasion.
