日本の箸 would be more natural if you're referring to chopsticks used, produced, etc. in Japan. There is practically no difference between chopsticks used for eating between Asian countries, so its strange to say 日本箸 (which would be pronounced nihonbashi) or even reference "Japanese chopsticks" at all. It's like saying "American forks" or "Swedish spoons". They're basically the same thing.

The only words for different kinds of chopsticks I can think of are 割り箸 (disposable, wooden ones) and 菜箸 (long, cooking ones).
