I love the chopstick's texture, precisely 9 in; Japanese tip is the right point, nonslip tip feature grit is the right amount of grit, not rough. Clean finish. Dishwasher safe (washed a million times). I purchased exact ones in Japan back in 2013, and these are the exact ones I have been looking for for years. The business transaction was smooth and super fast. Date Ordered: 8/19/2023 Order Delivered: 8/21/2023. Email communication was professional and trustworthy; I recommend this business and chopsticks.
