Description
This cheerful dog chopsticks and rests set brings a little character to noodle night, with two pairs of beech wood chopsticks and two ceramic rests shaped like lying-down pups. One pair is printed in bright red and the other in sky blue, each handle covered in smiling dog faces, while the lower half is left as plain, natural beech so the tips feel warm and smooth in the hand. The two rests are just as sweet: one pup has a toasty orange-brown coat and the other a soft blue one, both with white faces and tummies. Each chopstick is 22.5cm long and 0.8cm across, a comfortable length for everyday meals.
We see this set coming out for bowls of ramen, udon and stir-fried noodles, a sushi supper or a takeaway that deserves better than disposable sticks. The little dogs keep the tips off the table between mouthfuls, so the set is as at home on the dining table as it is on a breakfast bar or a tray on the sofa. With two pairs, it lays two places neatly, and the red and blue handles mean nobody mixes up whose chopsticks are whose. It makes a cheerful little present, too.
The chopsticks are made from beech wood, with the dog print kept to the handles, and the rests are glossy ceramic with simple, friendly faces. As general good practice for wood, we would wash the chopsticks by hand in warm soapy water and dry them straight away rather than leaving them to soak, and simply wash and dry the ceramic rests. The set arrives in a brown card box with a bright orange sleeve reading Dog Noodle Set, so it is ready to give as it is. Pair it with a packet of good noodles and a favourite bowl for a gift that feels complete.
