    Our focus is on [comfortable mouthfeel].

    The starting point of Nekotsu-do's, is that it should be safe and comfortable to use for those who have delicate oral cavity.

    In order to give form to this ideal, we are particular about [made of bamboo], which is the root of chopsticks, and craftsmen select and finish each chopstick by using bamboo material cut from the bamboo groves in Kumamoto Prefecture.

    The thin and square to the tip is a shape made possible only by the use of bamboo. This shape and the unique bamboo flexing make it easy to pick up even without the non-slip coating on the tip, and also allows for a superb mouth feel.

    The suppleness and smoothness of bamboo will impress your lips!

    Lightweight and easy to handle because it fits your fingers, anyone can use it.

    iisazy chopsticks are a collaboration with Yamachiku, a group of craftsmen who have been making bamboo chopsticks for over half a century.

    In addition to specifications that incorporate the best of processing technology, they are carefully finished with sandpaper that is twice as fine as usual to achieve the ultimate in smoothness.

    Nekkodo Founder
    Atsuo Shibata Atsuko Shibata
    She has worked as a nurse for 24 years. 2014, she was diagnosed with parotid cancer (adenoid cystic carcinoma) and experienced surgery and chemoradiotherapy. Through these experiences, she realized the barrier of eating. She also learned that interaction with others in the same situation can be a source of support for living. She decided to start her own business to support the idea that "to live is to eat, and to eat is to live. I would like to update society with the values I have realized through my cancer experience.
