The only chopstick culture in the world where you can eat with just chopsticks.
This is a proud culture that Japan has completed.

The existence of chopsticks is very familiar and indispensable to Japanese food culture.
However, it is a fact that the usage of chopsticks by Japanese people has become very disturbed these days because they are too familiar.
On the other hand, in Europe and the United States, it is said that eating Japanese food with chopsticks well is the status, and its internationalization is steadily expanding. Therefore, this situation in Japan is very disappointing and very worrisome.

At Hyozaemon, we always want to not only make and sell chopsticks, but also "to deliver things that spread from chopsticks." By telling everyone about the unexpectedly unknown chopsticks, carefully making chopsticks while envisioning various scenes, and above all, by facing the chopsticks seriously, we are always there like the air. I hope that these chopsticks will add color to your life as much as possible.
