We have been in business for 300 years since our establishment in the Hoei era. Saruya’s toothpicks are made of spicebush wood, which has been regarded as high-class wood from the old days. Our toothpicks are all made one by one by hand, so even an experienced craftsperson can make only around 400 per day. These rare toothpicks are regarded as a delicate specialty of Edo even today.
