Product Info
- 【Only one pair in the world. Create your own 'My Chopsticks'】 Choose your favorite wood, carve it, and polish it. Why not create your own 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 with your own hands. 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 with the very first step: choosing your wood. Choose the same wood for a matching pair, or pick different colors and grains to suit your individual tastes. 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 carefully support you from carving to finishing, so even beginners and children can enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Watching your wood gradually take the shape of chopsticks is a fun and immersive process, even for the first time. The finished chopsticks can be taken home immediately. Unlike other crafts, these are practical items you can use at your dining table every day. Because you chose the wood and finished them yourself, you will feel a special attachment to them every time you use them. Furthermore, **engraving of names, anniversaries, or messages (optional)** is also available. These make perfect gifts for loved ones or special keepsakes for couples. Located just a 4-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, the experience takes about 60 minutes. It is easy to fit into your schedule while shopping, on a date, or out and about.

- Find your favorite wood
- Choose your favorite piece from over 10 types of wood. Each wood type differs in color, weight, and texture. Compare them in your hands and find the one that feels just right for you. The time spent deciding which wood to choose is part of the fun of this experience.
- Carve and shape (using a plane and sandpaper)
- Shape your wood into chopsticks by carefully shaving it with a plane. This popular step allows you to enjoy the satisfying feeling of carving wood and watching it transform. The final result depends on the pressure and angle you apply, allowing you to experience the joy of making things by hand. Even beginners can feel at ease with our staff's support. Once the shape is set, smooth the surface with sandpaper. Polishing them carefully results in comfortable chopsticks that fit perfectly in your hand.
- Finishing (Engraving and Oiling)
- If you wish, you can add names, messages, or numbers as an option. It is recommended for making your pair unique, or for commemorations and souvenirs. Finally, applying oil enhances the wood's natural texture and makes the chopsticks easier to use. You can take your carefully finished chopsticks home with you right away.
