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！

5.00Even as a solo traveler, this was a lot of fun. And regardless of how well you make your chopsticks, one thing is certain: they will be uniquely yours (as opposed to nearly anything you might buy). Definitely memorable and worthwhile.

5.00Hubby and I had a wonderful time learning to make chopsticks with Erika! It was such a neat experience, and we now have very unique souvenirs to remember our trip by. Erika is very friendly and helpful, especially after I picked an insanely hardwood to create my chopsticks with. I highly recommend this unique and fun experience!

5.00This experience was a lot of fun! We were able to customize everything and was eye opening to how chopsticks are made. I would love to try the other experiences she has. Also the instructor was very kind and accommodating. The studio entrance is hard to find, but the instructor came down to greet us!
