ISHIDA Handcrafted Happy Life Chopsticks

Ishida has been making Wakasa-nuri for more than eighty years. Wakasa lacquerware is a traditional craft of Obama, Fukui Prefecture that has been around since the early Edo period.

​​Ishida not only preserves the tradition, but also challenges the best chopsticks by paying attention to the product from every angle such as material, design, and texture. Using their own skilled craftsmanship as a foundation, the company has also developed their own machinery and equipment to produce high-quality, low-cost chopsticks that balance the two polar elements of tradition and innovation, warmth and sharpness.

The concept of home is a carrier of a happy life, where you spend your meals and seasons with happiness.

A pair of chopsticks, one long and one short, represent big and small hands, symbolizing the meaning of happiness walking forward together.

Chopsticks are made from natural wood materials, making them healthy and safe daily.

The chopstick tips are designed with sandblasting, giving them a gritty texture that increases friction when holding food, making it easier to pick up dishes from the table.
