About Chopsticks and Japan
Chopsticks are an important part of Japanese food culture. They have been used in Japan for more than 2,000 years. Japanese chopsticks are usually made of wood and have a thin, pointed tip, which makes it easy to pick up small pieces of food.
In Japan, people often give chopsticks as gifts because they represent good relationships and connection between people.
We hope this chopstick-making experience becomes a wonderful memory for you！

5.00This is a lovely experience with my spouse. We left our children at the hotel nearby but I think they would have enjoyed the experience. I left with my hands a little sore as having picked a wood that required some force to shape. From shaping, to sanding, and packaging it was a fun experience! Something that is unique and will capture a great memory from Japan.
One of the most relaxing,...

5.00Erica was super nice and provided good guidance so our chopsticks would come out as good as possible. The studio felt like a hole in the wall, something you wouldn’t even know to look for. But, the atmosphere was super warm and me, and the rest of my family, thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
Great time in Sapporo

5.00We both loved this class. Using authentic tools to make a set of chopsticks was a great time. Erica was a fantastic and patient teacher. I highly recommend taking her classes (we also did the ramen noodle making class). Pick a wood blank and use the tools... good luck.
Make your own perfect souvenir of your visit to Sapporo!

5.00My wife and I had a great experience making chopsticks. Erika was very helpful and attentive. I asked questions throughout the process and had Erika check my progress along the way. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful experience. Looking forward to getting to use my chopsticks when I get home.
