What to expect
Discover the timeless art of Japanese craftsmanship by creating your own pair of handmade chopsticks. Choose from a selection of beautiful natural woods—each with its own unique color, grain, and texture. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, use a hand plane to shape your chopsticks with care and precision. Then, refine the surface with sandpaper to reveal the wood’s natural beauty and achieve a smooth, comfortable finish. Complete your masterpiece with a coat of natural oil, giving it a warm, polished glow. For a personal touch, you can even have your name engraved in Japanese, transforming your chopsticks into a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake. Create not just a utensil, but a lasting memory—a beautiful piece of Japan to take home and cherish.

What an amazing way to spend 60mins, this activity guided and instructed by Aleyna was fantastic. ypu have the options to just use the basic wood included in price or upgrade to additional priced wood as well as paying a little more for engraving. all up was very affordable and a great keepsake memento for a fabulous trip. thanks again Aleyna, we were very happy with our chopsticks x
Sota was very kind and very helpful while I struggled to plane my chopsticks on the right sides. I really enjoyed the process and they have a wide selection of wood types for an extra charge. Friendly staff, clean environment.
I had a wonderful experience! Aleyna was very friendly, patient, and helpful. The class was fun, and I really enjoyed learning how to make my own chopsticks. Highly recommended!
What a great experience. We had so much fun carving our chopsticks. Michelle was very helping explaining step by step, helping when needed. I would highly recommend.
A wonderful, immersive experience—working with wood is very relaxing. Marine was patient, very helpful, and friendly! Thank you for this precious memory.
Amazing experience, a must do when visiting Japan. staff is extremely helpful and very polite.
Mr Rick so good explain and taught us how to do the chopstick. Its was good experience if you want to try. I recommend all of you go to this place get the momories and experience👍🤗🤗.
Nice experience with the family. Tomo was our instructor, very kind person and helped us to complete our job!
ir was such a nice experience, Karena was our mentor in the journey of making our chopsticks, she helped us in a proper way. I do have suggestions about the sanding of the chopsticks if there is a workbench specifically for the sanding where you can choose how thin the tip of the chopsticks and to make sure that both sticks are even. It will help with the efficiency and the perfectness of the experience.
Very accommodating staff, we had Rick who was really helpful in teaching us all about the process of making our chopsticks! Got our engravings from him & they were perfect, great time would recommend.
