From there, English-speaking instructors walk participants through every step of the process \u2014 from selecting the wood to shaping, sanding, oiling, and personalizing the finished pair \u2014 to make your own pair of chopsticks.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoteltavinos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2408\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"c-text-box lazyblock-text-box-Z1djFjq aligndefault aligndefault  wp-block-lazyblock-text-box\">\n            <p>Part of what makes the workshop appealing is that no prior woodworking experience is required, yet the end result is genuinely useful \u2014 a handmade pair of chopsticks can easily find its way into everyday life back home, making it both a personal keepsake and a meaningful reminder of Japanese culture.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choosing the Right Wood for Your Handmade Chopsticks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoteltavinos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2409\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"c-text-box lazyblock-text-box-1efTbV aligndefault aligndefault  wp-block-lazyblock-text-box\">\n            <p>One of the most enjoyable parts of making chopsticks from scratch is choosing the wood. Participants can compare sample chopsticks made from five distinctive materials, testing their weight, color, texture and scent before deciding which type best suits them. Some woods are light and fragrant, while others are dense, firm or more challenging to shape.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoteltavinos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2410\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard options include woods such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tochi<\/strong> (Japanese horse chestnut): Soft, warm look. Pale tone and gentle feel make it an elegant choice, though it requires a little patience when shaping. Often used for traditional bowls and teaware.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hinoki<\/strong> (Japanese cypress): Smooth, pale and highly aromatic. Closely associated with Japanese shrines, temples and baths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kiso Hinoki<\/strong>: A prized cypress from the Kiso region. Offers a similarly refined fragrance and is especially easy for beginners to work with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/hoteltavinos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2411\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on availability, participants may also be able to choose from premium woods for an additional fee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tamo<\/strong> (Japanese ash): Feels heavier and sturdier in the hand. Often used in furniture and sporting goods such as baseball bats thanks to its strength and flexibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kuri<\/strong> (Japanese chestnut): Rich color and excellent durability, making it a traditional choice for buildings, furniture and objects designed to last.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hiba<\/strong> (especially Aomori hiba): Distinct fragrance.

Available only in limited quantities, yakusugi has a striking grain and a sense of rarity that makes it feel more like a keepsake than an everyday item.<br>*The chopsticks pictured in this article are made from yakusugi.<br>*Wood types may vary depending on the season and availability.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Chopstick Making Experience with English-speaking Staff<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoteltavinos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2412\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"c-text-box lazyblock-text-box-1Ls9ET aligndefault aligndefault  wp-block-lazyblock-text-box\">\n            <p>Once the wood is chosen, the instructor checks the grain of the pair and helps participants mark the sticks so they can shave and sand them evenly.

Participants gradually shape the wood, smooth the edges and round the tips so the chopsticks feel comfortable to hold. The sanding step is especially calming: a quiet, focused task where the wood slowly transforms under your hands.<br>\u00a0<br>After the chopsticks are shaped, they are dipped in oil and carefully wiped down to bring out the natural grain. Participants should wait about three days before using them, giving the finish time to set properly. Until then, they can be kept as a reminder of the workshop \u2014 and perhaps the anticipation makes the first meal with them even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/hoteltavinos.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2414\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"c-text-box lazyblock-text-box-1srOxU aligndefault aligndefault  wp-block-lazyblock-text-box\">\n            <p>The instructors are a big part of what makes the experience memorable.
