I decided one day to learn how to use chopsticks so I found a picture of how to hold them and I refused to use a fork for a week. Now it is easy to use them when the mood strikes me. I always keep some in my car instead of plastic utensils for my road snacks. Easy to clean using wet wipes.

On the first day of my trip to Japan, I walked into a cafe and casually asked for a fork. The waiter smiled mysteriously and disappeared for about... 5 minutes. When he returned, he carefully handed me a fork dripping with water. I thought - what have I done! He must have spent a long time looking for it in the storeroom, or perhaps he asked for a fork in a nearby restaurant, then found it and washed it carefully. I didn't want to cause so much trouble and was very embarrassed. After that, I never asked for a fork and quickly learned to use chopsticks. Now for me this case is one of the facts of ideal Japanese service.

[@MrRusamas]

В любом нормальном ресторане столовые приборы моют и обязательно вытирают полотенцем, наверное это была отвратительная забегаловка. Ох уж эти пещерные традиции Японии.

[@53kenner]

I had the opposite problem. It seemed like, in most places, that I went, I received a fork -- even though I didn't really need or want it. Visiting Japan was always a good way to refreshen my chopsticks skills.

[@MinYoo-ri]

Благодарю! Оказывается, я просто не привыкла долго держать палочки, поэтому устаёт рука 😮 буду учиться заново. Так подробно ещё никто не показывал! Я жду свой заказ, деревянные палочки для еды из Токио, буду тренироваться

For those who want to practice, popcorn makes for an excellent practice food! Keeps your fingers clean, has lots of edges to grip, makes you eat slower so you don't eat as much. That's how my family learned to use chopsticks reliably!

[@user-ru2bx8zz3f]

自分も最初はいびつな箸の持ち方をしていました。
いい年齢になって、ほかの人の箸の持ち方が気になり、自分の持ち方に恥じるようになって、
毎日確認して箸を持つ様にして矯正訓練をしてきました。
その甲斐あってか今では正しい持ち方ができるようになりました。
箸は「つかめればいいだろ」という気持ちでいると恥をかきます、見た目にも下品に見えるからです。
頑張ればだれでも正しい持ち方ができるので、ぜひ矯正をおすすめしたいです。

[@ivo6676]

Нам, Гайдзинам, проще с ножа поесть! У нас, варваров, с детства нож как продолжение руки. Хотя палочками пользоваться умею, пригождается иногда в походе или когда пинцета нет под рукой, из грязи или кислоты что - то вынуть.

[@imaredhel]

I’m glad to see that I’ve been doing it right all these years and what’s funny is that I learned how to do so by looking at the picture instructions on the chopstick paper wrapper 😂

[@vintagelady1]

Very clear & simple instructions. Not being a person of great manual dexterity, I will still, despite this video, never be able to use chopsticks. My first ever effort was in a fairly fancy restaurants with a scrumptious plate of tempura shrimp in front of me. My friends were all helping me learn, & I got that first shrimp picked up & eaten. Very proud, but we know what goeth before a great fall. I picked up shrimp #2, dipped into the sauce, started toward my mouth, & the ends of the chopsticks crossed. That shrimp went airborne & landed I know not where. I could not crawl under the table & hide b/c we were seated on the floor & the table was too low. One of my friends signaled the waitress & mouthed the word, "Fork." Thus ended my encounter w/ chopsticks, though not w/ tempura shrimp.

[@sushisamurai3506]

Thank you for your memories of chopsticks. Learning about another country's culture is difficult. I also study every day.✨✨✨

[@woodstream6137]

I would use my fingers to eat shrimp 😊

@@sushisamurai3506 I fear that I belong in an institution for the terminally clumsy---I even hold my pencil in an unconventional way, in spite of several teachers who tried to correct me! I find different cultures so fascinating---we have so much that we can learn from one another!

@@vintagelady1 I belong to the unable to use chopsticks crowd as well. I hold pencils or pens with thumb n forefinger not fore and middle. I can paint and draw
, I can play piano, flute, clarinet, handle the reins of 4 in hand horses... chopsticks confound me, my Vietnamese friend tried for hours and then laughed and told me "good thing white people came up with forks, you'd starve if you were born in an Asian country" we had fun though, our hours long lesson in futility.

Thanks so much! I'm left handed, so it's been hard for me to learn; you're right, it cramps your hand at first. I'm tired of having to ask for a fork instead of using the chopsticks at restaurants, and you were in my feed; talk about convenient! I'm going to have to practice a lot as a lefty, but I'll get it with this video, it's very clear. Thanks again!

Thank you for your instruction. I do have trouble with chopsticks because, being American, we mostly use forks also, being a black southerner, I am in a totally different kind of minority. Some of my relatives look at me in astonishment when we eat at a Japanese restaurant and I am the only one using them 🤣. I learned when stationed at Kadena Air Force Base on Okinawa. I would really like to get better at using chopsticks when eating rice or noodles. Thanks again from Charleston, S.C. USA!!!

[@Micro-Moo]

Being American?! In the US, in every place where they serve Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, or Japanese food, one can always pick up any number of chopsticks and try them right away. Chopsticks also come with sushi in all American supermarkets where it is sold. Many Americans I know personally have no trouble using them occasionally. For many dishes, chopsticks are way more convenient than anything else. And this is not only sushi. How can it become a problem? It takes just one meal to get more or less comfortable with them.
