Description

Named tetoca—“fruit in your hands”—these chopsticks are made from familiar fruit trees. A beeswax finish preserves the character of the natural wood. Choose from five varieties: chestnut, persimmon, mandarin orange, plum and peach.

The handles are hexagonal and the tips are square. These shapes help prevent slipping, making the chopsticks comfortable to hold and easy to pick up food with.

Packaged in a sleeve illustrated with the fruit, they make a lovely small gift on their own or paired with a rice bowl. Choose by the color of the wood or by your favorite fruit. Try several varieties to feel the differences in hardness, weight and scent for yourself.

tetoca
Kawai Co., Ltd., the maker of tetoca, is based in Obama, Fukui Prefecture, a major center of traditional Wakasa lacquerware. The city produces more than 80% of Japan's lacquered chopsticks. Kawai shares the appeal of chopsticks and the culture surrounding this essential part of Japanese life.

Finished with 100% pure beeswax, these chopsticks preserve the natural beauty of the wood while giving it a gently lustrous, moisture-resistant surface. The natural finish is made for everyday use. Enjoy the texture and rustic simplicity of wood, quite different from the polished elegance of lacquered chopsticks.
