Chopsticks for Eating
Chopsticks are made of different materials and have different designs based on the country they are used in. Chinese chopsticks are generally made of bamboo and are longer, rectangular and have a blunt end. Japanese chopsticks are a bit shorter than Chinese ones, are rounded and have a thin tip. Korean chopsticks are made of metal – stainless steel – and generally have engraved ornaments.
Customized chopsticks can make great gifts for fans of Asian cuisine. Notably, silver or golden chopsticks can make great wedding gifts. Other luxury chopsticks could be made of other precious materials like ivory, jade, onyx and can also be embellished with stones, engravings etc.
