What To Expect

Discover the joy of traditional craftsmanship by making your very own pair of chopsticks. Choose from a variety of beautiful types of wood, each with its own color, grain, and character. Whether you prefer a lighter or darker tone, or something in between, find the perfect wood to match your taste. Once you've made your selection, place your chopsticks on the stand and use a hand plane to carefully carve them into shape. It's a calming, satisfying process that lets you feel the texture and warmth of the wood. After carving, smooth the surface and edges with sandpaper to bring out the natural beauty and comfort of your chopsticks. Finally, apply a coat of natural oil to protect and enhance the finish, giving them a soft, polished look. As an optional touch, you can have your name engraved in Japanese or your native language, making your chopsticks truly one-of-a-kind. Your friendly, English-speaking staff are always available to assist you, so whether you’re a beginner or trying something new while traveling, you’ll feel supported throughout the experience. Come and make something memorable, a piece of Japan you’ll treasure forever.

    Had a great time making the chopsticks. I did woodwork back in highschool so it was very nostalgic. Highly recommended it
