MONCHHICHI - Chopsticks 21 cm

Add a touch of retro charm and Japanese poetry to your meals with this pair of traditional 21 cm chopsticks, produced by Benelic under an official Monchhichi licence. Made entirely from high-quality natural bamboo, these reusable chopsticks combine the authenticity of wooden cutlery with delicate illustrations featuring the famous little monkey loved by all generations. An essential item to transform every meal of Asian specialities into a moment of gentle nostalgia.

Created in Japan in 1974 by Kōichi Sekiguchi under the original name Monchhichi (known in France by the affectionate nickname ‘Kiki, the kiki of all kikis’), this little soft toy monkey with a baby-faced expression has become an iconic figure in global pop culture. Recognisable by his brown fur, his freckles and his adorable habit of sucking his thumb, Monchhichi embodies universal values of respect, friendship and gentleness. Deeply rooted in the Japanese way of life and modern Japanese culture, this timeless character steps out of the world of toys to make its way directly into tableware through useful and refined everyday objects. These chopsticks thus celebrate harmony and the ‘kawaii’ aesthetic, making them ideal for delighting long-time fans and lovers of original Japanese tableware.
