Suri Urushi Cooking Chopsticks Hinoki 33cm

The Suri Urushi Hinoki Chopsticks are long and have a very comfortable grip. The tips are broader, which is great for more general work. The suri urushi coating gives the chopsticks a protective layer, as well as a classic look. A shorter version of these chopsticks is also available.

Saibashi (cooking chopsticks) are an indispensable kitchen tool for frying, sautéing, mixing, stirring, turning and much more. There is no other utensil that works in quite the same way.

Saibashi are much longer than dining chopsticks (hashi) and help to keep your hand away from steam, splattering oils and high temperature. Saibashi are typically about 29-33cm long, and hashi are usually about 20-23cm long
