The tips are angled, making them easy to use without slipping, especially for noodles, and they have received positive feedback. These rustic chopsticks are made by artisans in a workshop in the mountains of Kiso, with lacquer applied to Kiso Hinoki. Urushi is a natural coating obtained from the lacquer tree. The characteristic of urushi is that it fits comfortably from the fingertips to the whole hand when held. It has a warm and soft texture. It has a good compatibility with people. Urushi gently and firmly supports you. The reason for this is not well understood, but it is likely a result of being a natural product.
