Thank you for viewing. This is Yoshino cedar ranchu-shaped waribashi (24cm). The shape is designed to be easier to hold than the original ranchu chopsticks, with a bulge near the hand. New, uncolored, unbleached, lightweight, safe and secure. Because they are natural and unbleached, there are individual differences in the wood grain and color. Beautiful wood grain and a subtle fragrance unique to Yoshino cedar. Ranchu-shaped, so they can be washed and reused. Made in the local area, using Yoshino cedar from the three major beautiful forests, handcrafted. Direct from the manufacturer, 1st and 2nd grade quality, shipped from Nara, Yoshino. Thank you.
