Japanese fine wood chopsticks, Tokyo cherry blossom

The "Japanese Selected Wood Chopsticks" series features domestically sourced, carefully selected fine woods. The handles are octagonal for a comfortable grip, and the tips are processed to be easy to hold and finished into a square shape, making them easy to use. This particular set uses wild mountain cherry trees that grow naturally in the mountains of Okutama, Tokyo. Mountain cherry trees are representative of Japan's wild cherry species and grow in relatively warm regions south of Kanto. They are used in high-end furniture due to their ability to develop a beautiful luster with polishing. Packaged in a decorative box, they make a great gift.
