I just saw a picture with a bamboo 楊枝. Definitely the wrong size and shape to be a toothpick, though.

Used in tea ceremony.
"Youji (stainless steel sweet forks) 楊枝
[...] Omogashi are moist and therefore they shouldn’t be handled with the hands because this 
makes the fingers sticky. It would be quite rude to handle the other utensils like the Chawan, 
Dashibukusa etc. with sticky fingers, so the Youji is used to bring the Omogashi from the 
Kaishi paper to the mouth."
