Traditional chopsticks made with an emphasis on ease of use.
Edo wooden chopsticks are made with an emphasis on ease of use, based on the idea that chopsticks are tools. They are easy to pick up and comfortable to hold, and are hand-finished with a focus on functionality and design.
Another feature of these products is that they are made using carefully selected fine woods (ebony, rosewood, ironwood, and other rare materials), making the most of the qualities of the wood itself.
Edo wooden chopsticks, which began to be made in the early Taisho period, have a tradition of about 100 years, made by Edo craftsmen. In 1999, Takeda Katsuhiko, the owner of Daikokuya, named them "Edo wooden chopsticks" and registered the trademark, which remains in use to this day.
