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！

Erica 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

We 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!

Erika is a wonderful host, fun and informed and friendly. We were able to select our own wood blanks from a multitude of species, and use authentic Japanese tools to make our own chopsticks. Highly recommend this experience as a fun and unique opportunity. Thank you, Erika!

Such a great experience. Erica was so lovely and helpful. We went in the evening and it was just the two of us with Erica. She was very friendly though and we had a great time.

My 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.
Fun, quick, and memorable experience

Great experience! Erika was patient and thorough in her explanation of how to make the chopsticks. Some history would be nice while carving to fill the space. Definitely recommended!
