Tsukune are savory chicken meatballs, typically served on thin skewers. These delightful chopstick holders are a scaled-down version of tsukune skewers, crafted to be such a close replica that you may want to warn your guest not to eat them! Chopstick rests are an essential part of traditional Japanese dining, but they can be fun, too! These little pottery tsukune skewers are handcrafted in the heart of Japan’s Mino ware region, where the talented artisans are masters at crafting porcelain miniatures. The careful detailing, rich colors, and meticulously applied glaze speak to the talents of the pottery masters who created them. No detail has been spared; the spaces between the delicious-looking balls are spaced nicely for resting your chopsticks. These miniature chopstick rests are a great conversation starter, and a must-have for lovers of fun and playful chopstick rests!

Chopstick Rest

When setting the table for a Japanese meal, chopstick rests (hashioki) are a must-have item. These rests are essential for hygiene so the chopsticks don’t touch the table. They are also a wonderful way to add whimsy, charm, and a personal touch to your table setting. With so many themes and designs to choose, chopstick rests are quite popular to collect. It's fun to switch them up for different seasons, menus, and occasions.

Mino Ware

Mino ware refers to pottery traditionally made in Japan’s eastern Gifu Prefecture, primarily in Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani. This ancient method of producing elegant, durable ceramics has roots going back over 1300 years to Japan’s Kofun period in the 7th century. Typically found nested into the mountainsides, the unique kilns used to produce Mino ware are often referred to as anagama kilns, and the master artisans producing these stunning products continue to adhere to rigid standards to produce only the highest quality ceramics.
