How to Choose the Best Pair of Japanese Chopsticks
Our guide for chopstick types and length selection will help you find the best pair for you and your family. Looking for elegant designs for adults, charming children's chopsticks, or specialized chopsticks for cooking? These tips will assist you in choosing the right set.
What is the best length of chopsticks for you?
Optimal length chopsticks are easy to hold and use. The manner that you eat becomes more graceful when you hold chopsticks that are the right size. Measure your hand size and choose the length that is the perfect for your hands.
For adults, the optimal chopstick length is 1.5 times the length between the tips of your thumb and your index finger when spread at a right angle.
Generally, it is recommended that individuals of average or small height should choose middle-sized chopsticks with a length of about 21–23 cm (8.3–9 in), and taller individuals should choose large chopsticks with a length of about 23–25 cm (9–9.8 in).
However, the size of one's hands varies from person to person, so we recommend that you measure your hand as shown in the illustration on the left, calculate the optimal length, and then choose a pair of chopsticks close to the calculated length.
For children
For children, the optimal length of chopsticks is the length of the hand plus 3 cm (1.2 in).
By giving children chopsticks that are the right size, they can have fun practicing their chopstick skills.
Please note that the appropriate size for children's chopsticks vary greatly depending on each individual. Please refer to the following table as a guideline to choose the right size.
