Chopstick rests in 12 colors

Add a touch of season to your dining table with color

Each of the 12 chopstick rests has a name: "Cherry Blossom," "Coral," "Red," "Yamabuki," "Rape Blossom," "Light Green," "Jade," "Dewdrop Flower," "Indigo," "Wisteria," "White Pastel," and "Ink." Each one is a small piece of wood with a gentle touch, like a colored pencil drawing, and comes in a wide variety of colors. Just by gently placing your chopsticks on it, a little color will come to life on your dining table, instantly enriching your casual mealtimes. You can have fun choosing a color to match the season or your mood, and decorating your table with "this color today" will likely become a daily routine.

Playing with color, choosing a casual chopstick rest

The appeal of these chopstick rests is their versatility, allowing them to be seamlessly matched with tableware, whether Japanese or Western. Add a touch of color to simple tableware. Or, link them with the colors of the food. Such small touches can give your dining table a sophisticated look.

Chopstick rests are essentially practical items to keep chopsticks from rolling away, but the 12 colors of chopstick rests can be elevated to become a daily coordination item. They add a casual playfulness that makes dining just a little more fun.

A subtle "high quality" that blends into everyday use

Chopstick rests are often thought of as something for entertaining guests or only for special occasions, but the advantage of this item is that it is reasonably priced and can be easily incorporated into your daily life. What's more, just adding a little color to a small dish can "somehow improve" the atmosphere of your dining table. Not only is it practical to "organize your chopsticks and the table," it also plays a role in "adding an accent to your table coordination" and "changing the impression of your dining table."

Reliable colored glass craftsmanship born in a workshop in Aomori

These 12-color chopstick rests are made by Hokuyo Glass in Aomori, known for its Tsugaru glass. In the workshop, artisans melt each colored glass one by one and shape it while carefully checking the temperature and thickness.

It is only through years of skill that these small pieces are able to maintain their transparency and clear color. Simply placing them casually on your daily dining table will change their appearance as the light catches them, and the different colors will directly change your mood. These chopstick rests may be small, but you can feel the precision of northern glassmaking.
