An Elegant Octagonal Shape with the "GA" Logo
"MAI (マイ)" are new chopsticks, designed and manufactured in Japan. Their design is octagonal, a shape considered auspicious. The octagonal silhouette tapers elegantly to the tip, making them easy to grip even small food items.
Crafted from striped ebony, a material known for its rarity, each pair of chopsticks is meticulously carved by artisans. This product, a beautiful fusion of aesthetics and functionality, evokes a sense of Japanese heritage. Naturally, they make an ideal gift.
