The 180mm is the longest of the Minonokuni ho wood moribashi. It reaches across a large plate for serving and plating while the fine stainless steel tips still place a garnish exactly, such as caviar set atop a sushi roll.
The extra length also makes these a practical pair for the stove, keeping the hand farther from a hot pan. The light ho wood handles keep the pair easy to hold through a long service, and the fine tips lift a single piece of tempura or a slice of fish without pressing it out of shape. Hold the pair near the middle for reach and near the tips for the most precise placement.
Shorter Options
For closer plating, see the 135mm, 150mm and 165mm ho wood plating chopsticks. The 180mm blackwood plating chopsticks match this length with a hexagonal blackwood handle.
These are not made for eating, as the points are very sharp.
