But in Japan there is a strong sense of connectedness with nature, especially among the more conscious thirty-something generation. It has become fashionable to bring your own personal chopsticks with you, to do your part in this way to conserve the dwindling resources of mother earth. This is a cool set of natural wooden chopsticks, with a carry case and plastic chopsticks cap (that's designed to also work as a chopsticks rest to keep them off of the table!). The stylish bag rolls up and ties with a string. A really cool and handy set! Made by Japan's own Prime Nakamura company, famous for their high quality bento boxes. This is the striped multicolor case version. (More like this) (Direct link to this product)
