Shinjuku Chopstick Making Workshop (Tokyo)

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.
