Description
Moribashi are the specialized chopsticks Japanese chefs use to plate sashimi, arrange garnishes, and compose small dishes with precision. Kanaguchi Manufacturing has made moribashi in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture since 1929, and remains the only producer in Japan to handle the entire process in-house, from forging the metal tips to shaping the wooden handles.
The handle of these moribashi is shaped from magnolia, a lightweight native Japanese wood long favored in knife and tool handles for its even grain and comfortable grip. The tip is heat-treated stainless steel, hardened for durability and edge retention, joined to the handle by a collar made from cotton-based natural resin chosen for its oil resistance and smooth tactile quality.

About Kanaguchi
Kanaguchi brings generations of Japanese metalworking expertise to professional plating chopsticks. The company's approach draws from their original specialty: the tekagi, a hand-forged hook used for lifting and moving heavy loads in fishing and cargo work. That tradition of forging tools for strength, balance, and precise control carries through to these kitchen implements, which feel solid, stable, and intentional in hand.
Operating under the Hishi-Kaneka brand name since 1929, Kanaguchi is the only manufacturer in Japan to manage the entire process in-house, from forging the fire-hardened stainless steel tips to shaping the wooden handles. Each pair pairs a forged steel shaft with a hand-finished wood grip engineered for comfort and control during extended use. Built to withstand high heat and daily handling, these plating chopsticks are designed for the delicate work of turning, lifting, and composing dishes with precision, serving both professional kitchens and dedicated home cooks.
