Ishida Ginsetsu Wakasa-Nuri Lacquerware Chopsticks

'Ginsetsu' translates to 'silver-glittering snow', perfectly capturing the essence of these chopsticks. Each pair features a lacquer finish with a fine silver glitter effect, complemented by a simple white band on the handle — the quiet beauty of glittering snow in a modern, elegant form.

These chopsticks are available in two colour and size options. Please select your desired option.

  • First use: A quick wash in warm water is all new pieces need.
  • Stacking: Place a cloth or paper between stacked pieces to protect glazes from scratching.
