What are Tensuke chopsticks?

The corners on the handle side of the chopsticks are shaved off at an angle to accentuate the wood grain.
Chopsticks often have rounded tips and are often used in establishments with higher average customer spending, such as hotels and high-end restaurants.
They are made from cedar from the Yoshino region and are popular as luxury items. Tensuke chopsticks with grooves are called Genroku Tensuke chopsticks.
What are Bamboo Chopsticks?

These disposable chopsticks are made from bamboo, with the most common being the bamboo creation chopsticks and the bamboo tensuke chopsticks.
The head side of the handle is connected and becomes rounder and thinner as it approaches the tip.
Because they do not absorb oil and are strong, they are often used in restaurants. There are also pressure-dried carbonized bamboo chopsticks called Tensuge.
Packaging Type
naked chopsticks

They are not even wrapped in a bag. They are often stored in chopstick holders or chopstick rests, and are often used in ramen shops, Chinese restaurants, events, etc.
Since we do not use chopstick wrappers, etc., costs can be kept relatively low.
Polyethylene sealed

These chopsticks are individually wrapped in polyethylene or other film.
They are resistant to moisture, and even products with toothpicks are less likely to accidentally prick your hand, so they are widely used in supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. They are clean and highly safe, so you can put them in a bag as is for takeout without worrying.
Paper sealed

Paper sealed chopsticks are chopsticks that are individually wrapped in paper. They are more environmentally friendly than the plastic sealed products mentioned above. It is common to see products that create original paper sealed chopsticks with names on them and use them as original sealed chopsticks.
