Chopstick

A super beautiful experience! We were able to choose the wood ourselves, make our own chopsticks, and have them personally engraved at the end. A great and special souvenir from Japan. Very nice people and absolutely recommended!

Chopstick making

We had a fun time making our chopsticks with the friendly team. It was an easy process and very enjoyable. The staff were very friendly, it only took an hour to do. It was a great way to spend some time together and escape the heat.
