Enjoy the refined elegance of these hexagonal chopsticks, made from Japanese cypress, or hinoki in Japanese. Japanese cypress is a sought-after wood used in the construction of temples, shrines, and bathhouses, among other things. It has antibacterial effects and a pleasant, therapeutic aroma instantly reminiscent of Japan. These chopsticks' hexagonal shape fits comforably in hand, and their extra length creates an elegant stroke to help you savor every bite. 

Like all Hirohashi chopsticks, these are made from the trimmings of Yoshino lumber, which has been forested with careful tending and replanting practices for hundreds of years.
