Product Info
- 【One of a kind in the world. Create your own 'My Chopsticks' by hand】 Choose your favorite wood, carve it, and polish it. Why not create a one-of-a-kind pair of original chopsticks? At Chopsticks Studio Kyoto, you can choose your favorite from over 10 types of wood and finish them into chopsticks one by one with your own hands. Each wood has a different color, grain, and texture. We offer standard woods as well as rare, eye-catching varieties. The fun of making chopsticks begins the moment you ask yourself, 'Which wood should I choose?' You can choose the same wood as your partner to make a matching pair, or each choose your own favorite color or grain. It is perfect for dates and anniversaries for couples, as well as for making memories with friends and family. Of course, solo participants are also very welcome! Our staff will carefully support you from carving to finishing, so even beginners and children can enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The process of gradually shaping the chopsticks is so fun that even first-timers will find themselves absorbed in it. You can take your finished chopsticks home with you. One of the unique aspects of this experience is that you can actually use them at your daily dining table instead of just finishing them. Because you chose the wood and finished it with your own hands, you will feel a special 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 yourself, as a special gift for someone important, or as a memento for a couple. Add a little something special to your usual day off. Why not create a one-of-a-kind pair of 'My Chopsticks' with your own hands? 【Recommended for】 ・Those who want to enjoy a date that is a little different from usual ・Those who want to make matching items together ・Those who want to capture memories with friends and family ・Those who want to enjoy crafting casually on their own ・Those who want their own original item ・Those who want to make a special gift for someone important ・Those who want to make something they can use every day after finishing 【Group and Corporate Use】 We also accept inquiries for group bookings, school trips, field trips, corporate training, and team building.

- Find your favorite wood
- Choose your favorite piece from over 10 types of wood. Each type of wood has a different color, weight, and texture. Let's find the wood that feels just right in your hand by actually picking them up and comparing them. The time spent wondering which wood to choose is also one of the unique joys of this experience.
- Shape and refine (using planes 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 comfort of carving wood and the sensation of seeing its shape change. Since the finish changes depending on how you apply force and the angle, you can feel the joy of creating with your own hands. Even beginners can rest assured as our staff will provide support. After shaping, use sandpaper to smooth the surface. By polishing carefully, you will finish with easy-to-use chopsticks that fit comfortably in your hand.
- Finishing (engraving and oiling)
- If you wish, you can add your name or your favorite letters and numbers as an option. It is recommended as a memento or souvenir, making them your own unique pair. Finally, by applying oil to finish, the texture of the wood is highlighted, resulting in even more user-friendly chopsticks. You can take home the carefully finished chopsticks as they are.
