Description
I am a Bamboo Shirasagi Fork Set. Inspired by the lucky egret, I’m here for wagashi, fruit, or anything worth savoring. Five forks to keep it fair—or maybe just an excuse for a few extra bites.
Curator’s Notes
I love using these Bamboo Shirasagi Forks by Kohchosai Kosuga for everything from delicate wagashi to diced fruit—especially when sharing with friends. There’s something charming about their simplicity, a design inspired by the shirasagi (egret), a bird known in Japan as a symbol of good fortune and lasting relationships. These forks have been a favorite at Kohchosai Kosuga for over 30 years, and it’s easy to see why: they feel thoughtful in hand, crafted to bring a bit of tradition to everyday gatherings. Packaged with an egret illustration, they arrive with a little touch of luck and a lot of heart.
