Beams Japan's Special order-made asymmetric wooden chopsticks were commissioned to Koyamaha Shiten, a chopstick specialty store located in Wajima, BEAMS JAPAN Prefecture. The feature is the original shape of the top one being octagonal and the bottom one being triangular.The octagonal chopsticks are movable chopsticks that are easy to move with your fingertips, and the triangular ones are fixed chopsticks that are difficult to rotate in the hand and are stable. You can hold chopsticks. The octagons and triangles are colored red and blue to make them easier to see. Lacquer is imprinted on the dense and durable Hiba wood and the excess lacquer is repeatedly wiped off with a ``wiping lacquer finish.'' As a proof of the special specification, the BEAMS JAPAN logo is engraved with "erased makie".

[How to use chopsticks]
Place the octagonal chopsticks on the index finger side (top) and the triangular chopsticks on the thumb side (bottom).

[Guide to the correct way to hold chopsticks]
Since you can open and close the chopsticks in parallel and the tips of the chopsticks are less likely to cross each other, you can use the chopsticks correctly. Even children, people whose hands have weakened with age, and foreigners who are not used to using chopsticks can use them smoothly with their beautiful movements.

What is chopstick asime?
Koyama Chopstick Store's original chopsticks were created by craftsmen who have been working with chopsticks for over 70 years. Through joint development with the Ishikawa Prefectural Industrial Research Institute, ``Chopstick Asime'' was born as asymmetrical chopsticks that allow users to experiment with chopsticks of various shapes and create beautiful movements.
