Chopstick Holder Dango Mitarashi | Japanese Ceramic Hashioki

Savour the spirit of Japanese street food culture with this delightful chopstick holder (hashioki) shaped like mitarashi dango — the iconic skewered mochi balls glazed in a sweet, sticky soy sauce caramel that has been a beloved fixture of Japanese festivals and temple fairs for centuries.

Mitarashi dango takes its name from the Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto, where it was first offered as a sacred sweet during the Mitarashi Festival. Today it remains one of Japan's most cherished wagashi — instantly recognisable, deeply nostalgic, and utterly irresistible. This ceramic hashioki captures that warmth and cultural richness with artisanal care, keeping your chopsticks hygienically off the table while sparking a smile and a memory at any dining setting.
