Did you Know About Chopsticks?


Every asian country get its own style of chopsticks, and therefore, if i'm going to a japanese restaurant in korea, i won't find korean chopsticks but japanese ones. So, I think it's quite interesting to look at the differences between all of them. 

So first, I will talk about ... korean chopsticks. There are medium-length stainless-steel chopsticks, with a flat rectangular cross section. They usually go along with a spoon. I really think that korean chopsticks are the easier to use, because you can grab little things precisely, thing that is not so easy with other types of chopsticks.

Then, chinese chopsticks there are longer than the korean ones, they are also round shaped (so basically they're not flat) and usually in wood. 

Then, let's talk about japanese chopsticks , they're short to medium lengths sticks that taper to a pointed end. They're also traditionally made of wood, and then lacquered.
