Chopstick Holder Shiso | Japanese Ceramic Hashioki

Celebrate one of Japan's most distinctive and beloved herbs with this elegant chopstick holder (hashioki) shaped like a shiso leaf — a beautifully detailed ceramic piece that honours the fresh, aromatic heart of Japanese cuisine.

Shiso (also known as perilla or Japanese basil) is one of the most versatile and characterful herbs in the Japanese kitchen — its bright, complex flavour combining notes of mint, basil, and anise in a way that is entirely its own. Used as a fragrant garnish for sashimi and tofu, wrapped around onigiri fillings, shredded into salads and cold noodles, and infused into umeboshi (pickled plum), shiso is a herb that appears across the full breadth of Japanese cooking, from the most refined kaiseki dishes to the simplest everyday meals. This ceramic hashioki captures that spirit of fresh, aromatic elegance with artisanal care, keeping your chopsticks hygienically off the table while adding a quietly refined accent to any dining setting.
