Characteristic 1 of the chopsticks

BECOS Original! Functional Wakasa-nuri chopsticks

These chopsticks were developed as an original product by BECOS and Chopstick Store Matsukan, a brand of Wakasa-nuri, a traditional craft of Fukui Prefecture. While more and more products are being produced by machines, these chopsticks are a gem of craftsmanship, handmade by artisans with a lot of thought and care.

While making full use of the Wakasa-nuri technique, a traditional Japanese craft, this item is designed with a focus on ease of use.These functional vegetable chopsticks can only be purchased at BECOS.

Characteristic 2 of the chopsticks

Uses special lacquer! Dishwasher safe!

Special lacquer is used for these vegetable chopsticks. The lacquer is highly transparent and glossy, and the beautiful grain of the wood is faintly visible. Furthermore, the hardness of the surface and the very durable nature of the lacquer make it dishwasher-safe.

The chopsticks are made of bamboo, which does not conduct heat easily. They are light and easy to hold, and can be used for frying as well as stir-frying. Since the chopsticks are carefully designed to withstand high heat, they can be used for any kind of cooking.

Detail of the chopsticks1

Moderately thin chopstick tips and triangular shape that fits comfortably in the hand

The chopstick tips of the nabashi are moderately thin, making them suitable for detailed serving work. The non-slip coating on the tips of the chopsticks makes it easy to grip slippery foodstuffs, which is the secret of their usability.

The shape is triangular and fits comfortably in the fingers and palm of the hand without slipping in the hand. It does not roll around in the kitchen and reduces stress during cooking.

Detail of the chopsticks2

Works well as chopsticks for large dishes

The length of the chopsticks is 30 cm, which is a little shorter than the 35 cm chopsticks sold for deep frying to avoid splashing oil.

Of course, they can be used for cooking without shortage, but they are also useful as chopsticks to take a platter of food. It is useful to have more than one pair of chopsticks when you have guests over to share a meal.
