Vegetable Chopstick Rests

It isn't just the abundance of fish and the almost oddly small portions of meat that make Japanese cuisine healthy and the locals scandalously thin: another arrow in their quiver is vegetables, prepared in any possible way. They are so much part of Japanese life that they have gone beyond diet and have become part of the broader culture, with bamboo shoots symbolizing success in life and bell peppers symbolizing prosperity for your children and grandchildren. This is why they, together with three more, make up the Vegetable Chopstick Rests set!

Okra symbolizes going through all hardships to reach your goal, pumpkin symbolizes good health, and the lotus root symbolizes the ability to see in the future. These complete the five-piece beautifully crafted Vegetable Chopstick Rests set. Each piece is carefully crafted from bamboo and laminated wood and has been finished with a clear coating to protect it from liquids and stains. These bring an extra Japanese dimension to all your meals!
