TAKENAKA BRONZE Co., Ltd.’s Toyama Bay Seafood Chopstick Rest is a pure tin chopstick rest modeled after the representative seafood caught in Toyama Bay. There are five types: white shrimp, firefly squid, yellowtail, red snow crab, and whelk. It was developed with the vision of enjoying the delicious cuisine of Toyama Prefecture, including “Toyama Bay Sushi.” “Toyama Bay Sushi” refers to sushi that only visitors to Toyama can enjoy, made entirely of fresh seafood from Toyama Bay, and is part of Toyama Prefecture’s branding project “Toyama is synonymous with sushi.” Since its founding in 1927 as a metalworking shop for Takaoka copperware, Takenaka Bronze Works Co.,Ltd. has been producing traditional Takaoka copperware for over 90 years. Currently, as a fabless company, Takenaka coordinates manufacturing teams that meet customer needs by leveraging a broad network of skilled artisans and technicians experienced in traditional techniques and metalworking to offer high-quality products. Many visitors to Toyama Prefecture have the impression that it is a “prefecture with delicious fish,” and hospitality featuring Toyama Bay Sushi is highly appreciated. To make the Toyama Bay Sushi experience even more memorable, the representative seafood from Toyama Bay was used as motifs for the chopstick rests. To highlight the characteristics of each seafood, they were moderately stylized to create tasteful designs. The pure tin material’s bright white luster gives them a transparent appearance, adding a touch of elegance to the dining scene with Toyama Bay Sushi. These can be enjoyed not only as chopstick rests but also as decorative items for various occasions. For example, gathering several white shrimp rests and placing them together can create a sparkling effect reminiscent of “Toyama Bay’s jewels,” serving as an accent for table coordination. Additionally, placing them in a dish can enhance the presentation of the cuisine.
