FAQ
Why are Radiko products priced higher than basic alternatives?
We use premium stainless steel selected for durability and long-term use. Unlike disposable or lower-grade options, Radiko pieces are designed to stay in rotation for years—making them a more thoughtful and lasting choice.
What is the difference between 316 and 304 stainless steel?
316 stainless steel offers higher corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel, especially when exposed to moisture, salt, or acidic foods.
Radiko uses 316 stainless steel for chopsticks to ensure durability and long-term performance, while 304 stainless steel is used for rests where strength and stability are ideal.
Are Radiko products dishwasher safe?
Yes.
Both our stainless steel chopsticks and rests are dishwasher safe. For best results and long-term appearance, we recommend placing them on the top rack and drying thoroughly after washing.
Why choose stainless steel over wood, bamboo, or ceramic chopsticks?
Stainless steel offers durability, hygiene, and longevity that natural or fragile materials cannot.
Unlike wood or bamboo, stainless steel does not absorb moisture, odors, or bacteria over time. Compared to ceramic, it is far more resistant to chipping or breaking during daily use.
Radiko’s stainless steel chopsticks are designed for repeated use, easy cleaning, and long-term durability—making them a practical and refined choice for everyday meals and hosting.
Why are disposable chopsticks a poor long-term choice?
Disposable chopsticks are designed for convenience, not longevity.
They are often used once and discarded, contributing to unnecessary waste and repeated consumption of single-use products. Over time, this creates a higher environmental impact and ongoing replacement costs.
Reusable stainless steel chopsticks offer a lasting alternative—designed to be cleaned, reused, and kept in rotation for years, reducing waste while elevating everyday dining.
