This pair was a gift for my daughter and they could not have been prettier, nor better made. I cannot imagine making them any better, as the color is perfect and the tips are perfect for gripping.
In my journey to become a better home cook, I realized that I needed to explore Asian cuisine in my kitchen more. I've always purchased the disposable chopsticks from the store, but I've come to realize these are pretty wasteful. So I wanted to get a nice pair of "permanent" chopsticks to use on my journey of learning. There are options aplenty on Amazon but who knows where they come from or what they are made of. So I literally Googled "quality chopsticks" and this site was the first to come up. As soon as I laid eyes on these particular ones, I knew I had to have them. They are beautifully crafted, solid, with a nice "weight" to them. I couldn't have asked for a better pair of chopsticks to be my first "real" ones. Extremely fast shipping was also a surprise. Thank you for the beautiful utensils, I hope they serve me well for years to come.
Of all the chopsticks I own, this is one of the most naturally beautiful pair I have ever purchased. The coloring is natural, simple, and gives you a soothing feeling as they are pleasing to look at. One detects a sense of becoming one with nature, as the craftsmanship of the wood is truly amazing, and words just can't describe the positive vibes one feels when using these chopsticks. They are a pleasure to hold and use, and will look great at any event, restaurant, or just simply dinning at home if you choose. I must warn you, it's hard to take your eyes off these amazing creations made in Obama, Japan. These chopsticks really are some great eye candy.
