Product Info
- 【Only one pair in the world. Craft your own 'My Chopsticks'】 Choose your favorite wood, carve it, and polish it. Why not create a one-of-a-kind pair of original chopsticks? At Chopsticks Studio Shinjuku, you can select your favorite from over 10 types of wood and craft them into chopsticks by hand. Each wood has its own unique color, grain, and texture. We offer classic wood types as well as rare, eye-catching varieties. The fun of making chopsticks begins the moment you ask yourself, 'Which wood should I choose?' Choose the same wood as your partner to make a matching set, or pick your own favorite colors and grains. It is perfect for dates and anniversaries for couples, or for creating memories with friends and family. Of course, solo participants are also more than welcome! Our staff will provide careful support from carving to finishing, so even beginners and children can enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The process of gradually shaping the wood is so engaging that you will find yourself absorbed in it, even if it is your first time. The finished chopsticks are yours to take home immediately. It is not just about making them; the unique joy of this experience is that you can actually use them at your dining table every day. Because you chose the wood and finished them with your own hands, you will feel a growing attachment to them every time you use them. Furthermore, **engraving your name, a special date, or a message (optional)** is also available. It is perfect for personal use, as a special gift for someone dear, or as a memento for two. Located a 4-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, the experience takes about 60 minutes. It is easy to drop by while shopping, on a date, or during a day out.

- Find your favorite wood
- Choose your favorite pair from over 10 types of wood. Each wood type differs in color, weight, and texture. Take them in your hands and compare them to find the one that feels just right for you. The time spent deciding which wood to choose is one of the unique joys of this experience.
- Carve and shape (plane and sandpaper)
- Use a plane to gradually carve the chosen wood into the shape of chopsticks. This is a popular step where you can enjoy the satisfying feel of carving wood and watching the shape transform. The final result changes depending on how you apply pressure and the angle you use, allowing you to experience the joy of crafting with your own hands. Even if it is your first time, our staff will support you, so you can rest assured. Once the shape is set, smooth the surface with sandpaper. By polishing carefully, you will finish with chopsticks that are comfortable and easy to use.
- Finishing (engraving and oiling)
- If you wish, you can add your name or your favorite letters and numbers as an option. It is recommended for commemorations and souvenirs as a one-of-a-kind item. Finally, applying oil brings out the natural texture of the wood and makes the chopsticks easier to use. You can take your carefully finished chopsticks home with you right away.
