Chopsticks, Spoons and Chopstick accessories

Chopsticks were developed about 5,000 years ago in China. By 500 CE, chopstick use had spread from China to present-day Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. Modern days chopsticks are made with many different types of material such as bamboo, plastic, lacquer, steel, enamel or wood. But they can also be fashioned from such precious resources as silver, ivory, jade or gold. While chopsticks are most commonly used as eating utensils, women of all cultures often use them as decorative hair pins to fasten long hair with an Asian flair. Perfect for your dinner table or fashion statement, our high-quality chopsticks are stylish, unique and affordable. Choose a set from our wide selection and pair it up with a chopsticks rest or chopsticks holder.

How to use Chopsticks

1. Hold one chopstick between your thumb and middle finger. Position the chopstick so that it lies at the base of your thumb (on the joint) and at the lower joint of the middle finger. This chopstick shouldn't touch the forefinger.

2. Place the other chopstick between your thumb and forefinger. The side of the chopstick should rest against the tip of your thumb; the top of the chopstick should rest against the pad of your forefinger.

3. Be sure the tips of the chopsticks are parallel.

4. Keep the first chopstick stationary as you practice moving the second chopstick toward the stationary one.

5. Use this technique to position the chopsticks around a piece of food.

6. Hold the food firmly as you lift it toward your mouth.
