竹の箸だけを、熊本の山から食卓へ。
From Kumamoto’s hills to the table—only bamboo, only chopsticks.
In the quiet hills of northern Kumamoto, a small maker crafts only one thing: bamboo chopsticks. Harvested and shaped by hand, each pair reflects the seasons and the spirit of Japanese grace. Light and supple, they echo daily gestures of gratitude. As forests fade and traditions wane, these chopsticks quietly reconnect Japan’s mountains with tables around the world.
竹の恵み、心を込めた箸 The gift of bamboo, chopsticks made with care.
