Welcome to Ginza Natsuno

Welcome to Ginza Natsuno, Japan’s largest specialty chopsticks store with over 3,000 varieties.

For Japanese people, chopsticks are more than just utensils. They are an integral part of our lives from birth to death. A child first uses chopsticks during their first formal meal (okuizome), and at the end of life, bones are collected with chopsticks after cremation, and chopsticks are stood upright in a bowl of rice as an offering. It is a common custom to break used chopsticks in half to prevent anyone else from using them. In Japanese households, everyone has their own designated pair of chopsticks,
whether it’s Dad’s chopsticks or Mom’s chopsticks. This is a unique Japanese tradition. Despite being just two simple sticks, chopsticks hold a special place in Japanese culture and spirituality. The Japanese have naturally and beautifully used and cherished chopsticks for generations.

At Ginza Natsuno, our priority is to offer our customers authentic and natural materials. Each pair of chopsticks carries the warmth and craftsmanship of artisans from all over Japan. Whether you have large hands, small hands, or gentle hands, we deliver genuine chopsticks for everyone.

We hope that through shopping at Ginza Natsuno, you will find a pair of chopsticks that becomes an important part of your life.
