御箸 is the Japanese word *ohashi*, where 御 (o-) is an honorific prefix.

<p>What are the characters shown in the following chopsticks packaging?</p>

<p>I've no idea what the first character is and the Chinese speakers at the restaurant at which I was given this package couldn't identify it either.</p>

<p>The second character appears to be 箸, a classical and dialectical word for chopsticks. However, that leaves me curious as to why there's a dot at the right-hand side of the 者 component.</p>

What are the characters shown in the following chopsticks packaging?

I've no idea what the first character is and the Chinese speakers at the restaurant at which I was given this package couldn't identify it either.

The second character appears to be 箸, a classical and dialectical word for chopsticks. However, that leaves me curious as to why there's a dot at the right-hand side of the 者 component.
