I want to open one of the many packaged sets I have, but weirdly enough I keep them in the package.
Maybe for an emergency shabu-shabu party

Wow, really nice.The order from "Everything Chopsticks" has arrived and I'm impressed, as they're quite the works of art (center pair for me, pair on right for SO)!...

Now I'm hungry....
Thanks! Like most things/coins, photos don't do it justice - you have to see them in-hand. Dad always says "it only costs a little more to go first class"....Wow, really nice.![]()
Yep, when I was in Okinawa in the middle 70s, chopsticks provided with a restaurant meal were the break apart type made from bamboo, and you needed to scrape them together a little to knock off any random fibers left from the manufacturing cuts. While I didn't eat off base that often, being left handed I would look for locals using chopsticks left handed, and I never saw any.Please do not rub those sticks together in Japan, it insinuates they use low-quality wood.
It is no longer necessary, unless you made your own from bamboo.
It was a real thing when they fed armies using sticks made from whatever they could find.
That has always been my philosophy.Thanks! Like most things/coins, photos don't do it justice - you have to see them in-hand. Dad always says "it only costs a little more to go first class"....
Love TB.
I think that's just mother-of-pearl and glitter, so hopefully he wouldn't hurt himself too badly...My dad would shake his head over diamond encrusted eating utensils.
They might look okay at a glance, but I wouldn't count on them being the genuine article(s).Valley Girls probably have nice pairs.

Those look nice, and the ribbing is a good idea.some I found recently, I got these right before I was gifted the teak ones I use the most often
