These bamboo chopsticks are made without urethane coating, unlike many other bamboo chopsticks on the market. The bamboo is selected from Fukuoka and Kagoshima Prefectures and then steamed (carbonized) in a kettle at high temperature and high pressure. This carbonization process is expected to have anti-fungus and anti-mold effects. No bleach or chemical fungicides are used to make these chopsticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the natural material, there are slight variations in each chopstick. The thickest part is approximately 5.4 mm in diameter, making them slightly thinner than usual chopsticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about the cultural significance and care of bamboo chopsticks in our blog posts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡︎ \u003ca title=\"Chopsticks around the world\" href=\"https:\/\/wabisabi-jp.net\/blogs\/wabi-sabi-journal\/chopsticks-around-asia-exploring-the-differences-in-japan-korea-and-china?_pos=4\u0026amp;_sid=4b5504869\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eChopsticks Around Asia: Exploring the Differences in Japan, Korea, and China\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e➡︎ \u003ca title=\"Bamboo Chopsticks — How To Make Them Last Longer\" href=\"https:\/\/wabisabi-jp.net\/blogs\/wabi-sabi-journal\/bamboo-chopsticks-how-to-make-them-last-longer?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=4b5504869\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eBamboo Chopsticks: How to Make Them Last Longer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Kawachinagano, Osaka Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kikusui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39760072147030,"sku":"90106","price":33.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2330\/8397\/products\/kikusui-bamboo-chopsticks-set.jpg?v=1749625109","url":"https:\/\/wabisabi-jp.net\/products\/kikusui-bamboo-chopsticks","provider":"The Wabi Sabi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
