Black Engraved Japanese Bamboo Chopsticks & (Optional) Handmade Natural Lokta Pouch
_300x278.jpg "Personalized Japanese Wood Chopsticks")
Bring a hint of the elegance of the East to your gathering, special event, or big day with our finely crafted Japanese Bamboo Wood Chopsticks in Handmade Pouch. Complete your Asian-themed place setting with these fantastic chopsticks, or give them as favors that guests keep as a memento of your event long after the night is over.
The chopsticks themselves are 8.75"L and tapered to perfection for easy eating and a sleek line, which is the difference between a pair that feels like cutlery and a pair that feels like a gift. Bamboo is the right wood for it: the bamboo chopstick is durable and reusable, so these wooden chopsticks will stay with your guests for years to come rather than going into the bin with the napkins. Laid across a folded napkin or the top of a place card, the black pair reads as a finished table setting on its own.
The engraving is what makes them yours. Each pair is engraved in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, and there are two separate fields, one for the 1st piece and one for the 2nd, holding up to 24 characters each. Couples put one name on each stick, or both names on the first and the date on the second. Hosts put a guest's name on one so the favor doubles as an escort card. Some put a line that gets a laugh across the table: "Love You Pho Ever", "You Make Miso Happy", "Pho-Ever Young".
There is a pouch to go with them. The Handmade Natural Lokta Pouch is finished in an elegant maple ivory color and tied with a ribbon, and the lokta is a natural fiber that offers an interesting canvas for an eco-friendly favor. The pouch can carry engraving of its own, so the names go on the outside and the date goes on the sticks, and the whole thing arrives looking like something you hand over rather than simply set down.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and set a table your guests will still be talking about.

Which one should I choose
At an Asian-themed or beach table the choice is between chopsticks guests keep, chopsticks they keep and carry home in a pouch, and the disposable pair that goes out with the napkins.
| Black Engraved Japanese Bamboo Chopsticks | Choose them when the chopsticks sit at each place as the favor, engraved with up to 24 characters on each stick. |
|---|---|
| The same pair with the handmade natural Lokta pouch | Choose it when the pair is handed over as a gift and needs to arrive finished, with the pouch tied with a ribbon and carrying engraving of its own. |
| Disposable chopsticks at each place | Choose them only when nothing needs to be kept; they carry no names, no date and nothing anyone takes home. |
For a wedding or banquet favor, engrave the bamboo pair; add the Lokta pouch when the chopsticks are the gift rather than the place setting.
