Delve into the art of chopstick craftsmanship in a serene workshop near Sasazuka Station. Guided by experts from a long-established chopstick company, you'll explore the unique features of Japanese chopsticks, including regional variations and proper care. Hands-on shaping of your own pair begins with selecting wooden blanks, where traditional tools like kanna and sandpaper become your companions in creating chopsticks that feel just right. Finish them with oil or opt for a premium urushi lacquer upgrade for a touch of elegance. This experience offers not just a handcrafted souvenir but an enriching connection to Japanese culture.
