Hyozaemon started as a family business passionate about preserving Japanese dining culture. Their craftsmen have been making chopsticks for generations, focusing on both traditional designs and modern innovations.
The shop found its home in Hiroo, but they also have this shop in Shibuya.
Is it worth visiting?
The selection is impressive - from everyday chopsticks to luxury pairs made from rare woods.
Staff are friendly and speak English, so you'll feel comfortable asking questions.
The engraving service is quick (10-15 minutes) and affordable, starting at ¥500.
It's a great place to find meaningful gifts that are easy to pack.
You can learn about chopstick etiquette and proper care from knowledgeable staff.
But keep in mind: The shop can get busy during peak tourist season, so morning visits are best. And while prices are reasonable for the quality, expect to pay more than for regular chopsticks.
Pro tip: If you're getting engravings, write down your desired text beforehand to avoid any spelling mistakes.
