We would like Japanese food lovers to keep enjoying the fabulous dishes for their lifetime. But as most of us get older, the grip or the grabbing strength gets weaker. For chopsticks, it is the grasping strength of the thumb and the index finger. When this strength gets weaker, it turns difficult to use a regular set of chopsticks. It becomes frustrating and harder to enjoy the dishes like before. This is depressing for a Japanese food lover. 

 

Custom order is recommended for the elderly and people with weaker grip. From his research, our craft master learned that thicker chopsticks will be better. Thicker chopsticks will require less strength and has less chance of the chopstiocks slipping off from the hand. Our craft master has been working with rehabilitation facilities to understand how the thickness and weight of hashi helps people with weaker grip.

 

Please don't give up enjoying Japanese food because of chopsticks. Contact us and we will take care of your needs.
