This chopstick is made from cedar from Yoshino City, Nara Prefecture, Japan. Yoshino City is known for producing high-quality cedar.
In Yoshino, trees are thinned in order to maintain the health of the forest. The thinned wood is mainly used for construction purposes, such as the production of pillars. The wood scraps produced during this process are used to make these chopsticks.
This is an environmentally friendly product that uses wood that would otherwise be thrown away.
