SERVICE STRENGTH
#1. Make chopsticks that are the perfect size for your hand
#2. Use beautiful natural wood with a nice smell
#3. Easy and safe for kids and beginners
You can pick your favorite wood from a selection of rare and beautiful trees. The most exciting part is using a special tool called a plane (カンナ, kanna) to shave the wood. You can make them as thick or thin as you like. A teacher will help you, so your chopsticks will become very smooth and easy to use.
Experience Details
You will start with a square piece of wood and turn it into chopsticks. The workshop smells like a forest! It is a very peaceful time, and you can relax while making your craft.
First, pick your wood. We have Cypress, Cherry, and other trees. Each wood has a different color and smell. Choose the best one for you!
Next, use the plane (カンナ, kanna) to shave the wood. It makes very thin, curly wood ribbons. It feels so good to shave the wood! Slowly, the wood begins to look like real chopsticks.

After that, use sandpaper to make the wood smooth. Touch it with your fingers to check. If you sand it well, the chopsticks will feel very soft and nice when you eat.
Finally, put some natural oil on the wood. This makes the chopsticks shine! Now they are finished. Using chopsticks you made yourself with MOTENAS JAPAN makes every meal special. Take them home and use them today!
