Different from the simplicity of Chinese chopsticks, Japanese chopsticks are known for their exquisite craftsmanship and magnificent colors. Japanese chopsticks, also known as chopsticks, originated in China, and on the basis of inheriting the traditional Chinese chopstick-making technology, the design and craftsmanship have been uniquely localized. Japanese chopsticks have two more significant features, one is that the chopsticks are extremely thin, which is convenient for clamping and cleaning fish bones, and the other is that the surface is covered with a paint layer that can play a role in anti-corrosion, moisture-proof and anti-deformation.
 
As a century-old Japanese chopsticks manufacturer, Hyozaemon is known for its traditional wooden lacquer chopsticks products, but also pays attention to the innovation and artistic exploration of craftsmanship and materials, from blank cutting, lacquer selection to lacquer grinding, all handmade by experienced craftsmen. From rich patterns to modern and convenient designs, Hyozaemon incorporates different elements into each chopstick design, including the unique Wakasa lacquered chopsticks, the unique folding baseball chopsticks, and the long-lasting Raden chopsticks. With annual sales of 1 billion yen, Hyozaemon distributes 45% of the total sales share of chopsticks to major department stores such as Takashimaya, Isetan, and Mitsukoshi, making it an undisputed leader among similar companies in Japan.
 
Classical Wakasa chopsticks have a simple and elegant appearance, luxurious and low-key materials, pine needles and multi-layer painted lacquer present a high-end texture, and the pure handmade work enhances its overall artistic value. This pair of Wakasa chopsticks, which cost as much as 7,000 yuan, is a bit luxurious for daily use by families, but it is a good collection for woodwork and lacquerware lovers.
 
In addition to the expensive and rare Wakasa paints, Hyozaemon's modern lacquer chopsticks are also worth collecting. The price is only one-tenth of the classical Wakasa coated chopsticks, the wooden chopsticks use the wood delicate, uniform pattern of natural maple as the raw material, the chopsticks head is coated with varnish to retain the original grain of the wood, the chopsticks body is painted with gold in the ancient method to outline the shape of cherry blossoms, when a pair of chopsticks are closed, the chopsticks tail fit each other, forming a state of interdependence, there is a beautiful implication of praying for the completion of the family and marriage, and it is a good gift for the newlywed Yan'er and the family to give each other.
 
For people who eat out all year round and are used to bringing their own utensils, Hachishiro folding chopsticks are a good choice. Priced at 640 yuan, the Hachishiro is a masterpiece that condenses many of Hyozaemon's production techniques, from wood processing, lacquering, decoration to finishing, using a completely different method from traditional chopstick-making. The chopsticks body is made of precious and rare woods such as red sandalwood and ebony, and the metal joint parts connecting the chopsticks body are lightweight and exquisite, and the chopsticks body as a whole adopts a streamlined multi-faceted cutting process, which breaks through the traditional wooden chopsticks that are not round and square in appearance, and the unique shape can effectively prevent slipping and make the grip more comfortable and fit.
 
In addition to the above representative chopsticks, Hyozaemon also has many special wooden chopsticks such as parent-child chopsticks, corrective chopsticks, and triangular chopsticks, with prices ranging from 30 yuan to 600 yuan. Hyozaemon is a benchmark for the manufacture of Japanese-style wooden chopsticks, and whether it is for collection or personal use, you can choose a suitable one from a variety of styles and materials. Japanese handmade chopsticks are mostly lacquered, which is excellent in anti-corrosion and mildew resistance, but they cannot be machine washed and dried, and you need to read the washing instructions carefully when buying.
