Precision and dexterity in the kitchen is important for getting the right results, especially with Japanese cooking... but don't put your fingers too close to that hot pan!
These extra long Japanese chopsticks are known as saibashi and are especially made for cooking.
At 33cm, the extra length means you can stir, turn and handle food whilst cooking without getting your hand too close to the heat.
These modern ones are made from light bamboo with white polyurethane coated handles. They feature a retro yuzu citrus decoration in cool turquoise and grey.
Each chopstick measures 33cm (13") in length and about 0.5cm (about ¼") across at the widest end.
Made in Japan.
