Chopstick Holder


www.RickNakama.com Chopstick HolderFinally, I found a chopstick holder!! I can't believe how difficult it was to find this simple plastic chopstick holder that is covered. I can find bamboo types or any cups to hold chopsticks, but those all aren't covered so dust falls onto them and into the holder.

I've been searching for one for a couple of years now. I even asked my friend who is Japanese and lives in Japan to find me one. He had no idea what I was talking about. I told him I know we used to have one about 30 years ago so there must be such a thing. He still had no idea. So I thought maybe in recent years they may have phased out. He is a bit younger than I am.

At last, my chopsticks are protected...

  1. WOW RM! Now that you mention it, I'd like a chopstick holder too!! Ours would just be filled with wooden chopsticks! I think we only have one pair that isn't wooden!

  3. I like this chopstick holder and it is really cute. This holder is suitable in any kind of personalized chopsticks that you always use in Japanese or Chinese restaurants.
