Mayonnaise Chopstick Rest from Japan — Kitagawa Misen Kiln, Arita Ware

mayonnaise bottle chopstick rest arita ware

A chopstick rest shaped like a mayonnaise bottle, made by Kitagawa Misen Kiln in Saga Prefecture.


Design and Details

Its red cap and soft cream-colored body closely resemble the familiar Kewpie mayonnaise bottle — a staple in Japanese kitchens.
The shape looks like mayonnaise just squeezed from a bottle, with a gentle curve in the middle.That small indentation makes it easy to rest chopsticks securely.

Each piece is part of a series that also includes ketchup, okonomiyaki sauce, and tartar sauce designs.


On the Table

With its playful appearance, it adds a light and unexpected touch to the table. Though slightly humorous in design, it feels thoughtfully made when used — both practical and playful.


Who This Is For

A good fit for anyone who loves Japanese food culture, anyone looking for a humorous and conversation-worthy gift, or anyone who wants to collect the full condiment series.
