Chopstick Holder Xiao Long Bao | Japanese Ceramic Hashioki

Celebrate one of the most beloved dumplings in all of East Asian cuisine with this irresistibly charming chopstick holder (hashioki) shaped like a xiao long bao — a delightfully playful ceramic piece that honours the iconic soup dumpling that has captured hearts and appetites across Japan and the world.

Xiao long bao — the celebrated soup dumpling originating from Shanghai — has become one of the most beloved dim sum dishes in Japan, where it is known as shōronpō (小籠包) and enjoyed at Chinese restaurants and specialist dim sum houses across the country. Delicate pleated parcels of thin dough encasing a rich, savoury filling and a burst of hot, flavourful broth, they are a dish that demands patience, skill, and the perfect technique — bite too quickly and you lose the soup; bite just right and you are rewarded with one of the great pleasures of the table. This ceramic hashioki captures that spirit of playful, cross-cultural culinary joy with artisanal care, keeping your chopsticks hygienically off the table while adding a warmly convivial accent to any dining setting.
