Smoked Bamboo Chopsticks
Free Delivery
For generations, the Japanese have mastered the art of bamboo craftsmanship, seamlessly integrating it into daily life. Freshly cut bamboo, rich in moisture and sugars, is prone to cracking and pests — which is why artisans harvest it in winter and dry it slowly over time. Among the most revered materials is susudake — bamboo darkened and hardened by decades of hearth smoke in traditional thatched homes. As this rare material becomes scarce, our craftsmen have created custom smoking kilns to honour its legacy and recreate its unique beauty.
