Curated for the home chef who values craft, comfort, and longevity. The KURABI Chopsticks are a celebration of everyday artistry, simple enough for weeknight meals and elegant enough for company. These are hand made and painted, so not every chopstick will look identical. ABOUT THE BRAND In the coastal town of Obama, Fukui Prefecture, artisans continue a 400-year tradition of chopstick-making known as Wakasa-nuri. Founded in 1943, Kawai remains one of Japan’s most respected family run producers, blending time honored craftsmanship with modern functionality. Each pair of KURABI Chopsticks is crafted from natural wood, carefully shaped, and coated for everyday durability. The result is a perfect balance of tactile warmth, subtle texture, and thoughtful design, a reflection of the Japanese philosophy that beauty lies in use as much as in form.
