Hyozaemon's Dedication: Premium Natural Chopsticks Crafted with Urushi Lacquer and Fine Wood
Hyozaemon Co., Ltd.
Our Motto: "Chopsticks are Food"
Hand-Crafted, Safe, and High-Quality Utensils for Your Health and Enjoyment.
Our flagship Kezuri line is hand-shaped one pair at a time. The fine surface texture fits naturally in the hand, improving grip. The textured tips provide secure control, even with noodles. A portable Kezuri version with a threaded mid-section, Hashiro, was recognized for its craftsmanship and chosen by the Government of Japan as an official gift at the Toyako and Ise-Shima summits. We offer a wide range of gift box designs for corporate and commemorative orders, and we have long hosted chopstick workshops for children.
