Reviews
the place was very nice, they had a variety of different wood with different hardness and looks. the staff were very informative and kind as well
so fun to learn more about the craft and detail put into making chopsticks. loved the atmosphere, service, and experience!
We booked this last-minute and couldn’t be happier with the experience! Everything was extremely straightforward, and the instructions were super easy to follow from start to finish. The staff spoke perfect English, which made the whole process seamless. The finished chopsticks turned out incredible, we absolutely love them and will treasure them as a memory of our trip. All of the instructors were fantastic, but a special thank you to Yuka! She was extremely friendly, welcoming, and very patient while putting up with me trying out my Japanese with her. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tokyo!
The young ladies helping teach us to make our own chopsticks were very kind and helpful. this was a fantastic experience, and we were glad we paid the extra for the different Timbers and engraving. the finished products look amazing.
incredibly lovely and attentive staff, wonderful selection of wood types, and a very clear and straightforward (and very enjoyable) process! would absolutely recommend for friends!
We had a fantastic time with our chopstip making experience. The girls were great teachers and very helpful. The experience was made very easy as it was only a four step process. They gave us the opportunity to personalise our chopsticks or even start over if we messed up a bit
what an amazing experience… I am gonna enjoy eating ramen with this … sweet staff and very helpful … a very wide range of wood to choose from … a must try
It was a long morning. My back and feet were aching. I wasn't sure of going to this workshop but so glad I did! From choosing the wood to shaping and sanding my chopsticks, the experience was interesting and rewarding. Mine aren't perfectly straight, but that's part of their charm! What really made the difference was Mizuki. She's warm, attentive and has such a sunny personality. You can tell she genuinely cares about your experience. She has a professional's eye for detail and an artist's heart. Even behind her mask, I could guess her smile from her beautiful, mischievous brown eyes! One of my favourite moments was discovering, thanks to her, that m mother's name translated into Japanese kanji means "witch". We both had a good laugh! She was also a wonderful audience for my questionable jokes. Thank you, Mizuki, for your kindness, patience and the laughs. You turned a simple workshop into a lovely special memory. My chopsticks may be a little crooked, but I left with a big smile!
Had a lot of fun with the process of creating my own chopsticks. Was so absorbed in it; 2 hours had past, lol. Highly recommend trying this workshop out if you can get a chance to fit it in your plans, you won’t be disappointed!
Easy and safe activity for myself and my 10yo daughter. She's been loving using her chopsticks that she made since we came home. Instructor was friendly, spoke English and made the whole process simple.
