FUTAGAMI
CHOPSTICK RESTS

Time flies—it’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the year. Looking back at last July, I barely have any photos of outings (laughs).
Most of my summer was spent visiting friends’ homes or hosting small get-togethers indoors.

And honestly, this year might end up the same way. As I was recently revisiting some of my tableware, one item came to mind: the chopstick rests from FUTAGAMI—something I’ve been meaning to add to my home for a while now.

FUTAGAMI’s chopstick rests have a unique charm that comes from their solid brass construction. The more you use them, the more they develop a beautiful patina, quietly reflecting the passage of time spent in daily life.
They’re simple yet substantial—perfect for both everyday meals and special occasions. The gently curved center helps keep chopsticks in place, so there’s no need to worry about them rolling away. A small touch that could really elevate your table when hosting.

To be honest, I tend to rest my chopsticks on the rim of whatever dish I’m using, only to have them roll off half the time… And during casual dinner parties—when guests lounge around between courses—I often forget which pair of chopsticks is mine. Has that ever happened at your place too?
Writing this, I’m now fully convinced—this is something I absolutely need! (laughs)

This particular model features a beautiful design that resembles four overlapping moons, true to its name. It’s the kind of item people don’t often buy for themselves, which also makes it a perfect gift. There are other shapes available as well, so if you’re curious, definitely take a look.
