Dishwasher-Safe Bamboo Chopsticks – 23cm, Smoked Bamboo
Length: 23cm
Made by Yamachiku / Kumamoto, Japan
"For those who want to wash their chopsticks in the dishwasher."
These chopsticks retain the natural lightness and flexibility of bamboo, while being specially treated to resist warping and peeling even after dishwasher use.
Smoked Bamboo (Susutake):
This bamboo has been carbonized—steamed at high temperatures to remove natural sugars—giving it a deep, subdued brown color with a refined appearance.
