If you have ever wanted to bring a little piece of Japan's artisan spirit to your everyday table, this chopsticks and chopstick rest set from Hokuyo Glass is a wonderful place to start. Crafted under the Tsugaru Vidro tradition — a glassmaking heritage from Aomori Prefecture now recognized as an official Japanese traditional craft — the set draws its colors from the region's beloved apple orchards, rendered through the time-honored Wakasa lacquerware technique. With two sizes and two apple-inspired hues all included in one set, it makes for a genuinely thoughtful gift or a quietly beautiful addition to your own dining table.

Chopsticks & Chopstick Rest Set (Apple)
From Tsugaru Vidro to Recognized Traditional Craft
Founded in 1949, Hokuyo Glass rose to become Japan's leading producer of glass fishing floats by the 1970s, before channeling that mastery into creating Tsugaru Vidro. The resulting glassware — celebrated for its stunning color palette and exceptional quality — has been officially recognized as an Aomori Prefecture Traditional Craft. Today, the studio works with more than 100 colors of art glass to capture the ever-changing hues of Japan's four seasons.

Two apple hues brought to life through traditional Wakasa lacquerware
Wakasa lacquerware originates in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, and captures the breathtaking beauty of the ocean floor in its layered finish. That same time-honored technique gives these chopsticks a stunning look reminiscent of blue and red apples.
Thoughtful details for effortless everyday use
The octagonal grip keeps the chopsticks from slipping in your hand, while the gently tapered tips make picking up even the smallest bites a breeze. Every detail is crafted with both beauty and usability in mind.
Colored glass rests that evoke the spirit of an apple
These glass chopstick rests charm with their adorable teardrop silhouette. Their colors and curves call to mind apple blossoms and ripe fruit — a subtle yet striking accent that brings a sense of calm and delight to every meal.
A gentle groove keeps your chopsticks perfectly in place
Adorable from every angle!
A shallow indentation in the center holds your chopsticks steady so they won't roll. The translucent glass looks just as charming from the side, with a shape and color that add a cheerful pop to any table.
A versatile design that suits any table, any style
The chopsticks and rests share a harmonious palette that ties your table setting together beautifully. Their clean, understated design pairs effortlessly with both Asian-inspired and Western dining aesthetics.
