Madake is known for its fine grain, smooth texture, and balanced flexibility. Naturally pale in color, it develops a gentle patina with time and use.
Designed for comfort, the octagonal shape provides a natural, ergonomic feel in the hand. The subtle angles offer just the right amount of grip without fatigue, making them ideal for enjoying extended meals.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN
Miki Bamboo
Founded in 1877 in Kisshoin, Kyoto, Miki Bamboo has spent five generations refining the art of bamboo craftsmanship. Unlike many producers, they maintain full control of their process, from harvesting raw bamboo to shaping the final product.
Bamboo is ubiquitous throughout Japanese culture, involved in refined practices like tea ceremony, flower arrangement, kendo, kyudo, calligraphy, and incense ceremony. But Miki is inspired by the material itself and feels its use in a humble chopstick is just as meaningful because of the role it plays in your daily life.
