These elegant and colourful chopsticks were created by master craftspeople in the city of Sabae in Fukui, a prefecture famed for spectacle/eyeglass production, so they obviously know a thing or two about thin and light metalwork. Although built to withstand any adventure without adding excessive weight to your bag or pack, Snow Peak's Titanium Chopsticks are equally as beautiful on the dinner table, at a picnic or on a desk for a quick work lunch. Popping them in your bag will also mean you can make the eco-friendly choice to opt out of disposable cutlery when eating on-the-go. Made from a durable titanium alloy, they have superior rigidity and heat doesn't transfer rapidly through them, so even if you leave them in the ramen broth for a while, the tops won't get too hot. The tips have precision corners, making it easier to pick up slippery noodles and small items, such as rice grains or nuts. Each set comes with their own sleeve for keeping them clean in your bag. This pair are a glorious sky blue - a colour that makes us want to head out into the great outdoors immediately. Niigata is a mountainous prefecture in Japan, full of rivers and valley, and home to the almost 2km-tall Mount Tanigawa. This is also where the accomplished mountaineer, Yukio Yamai, founded Snow Peak in 1958. Starting with a line of superior climbing gear, it has evolved over the years to become a world-renowned outdoor specialist that promotes a nature-oriented lifestyle. For those who love to head out in the wild, Snow Peak sets the gold standard for equipment.
