京町屋体験工房 和楽

This workshop takes place in a lovely old house, with an equally lovely owner. You get to choose your own (almost finished) chopsticks, and basically you will sand them with sand paper, then polish them. While that is less hands-on work than at other workshops, I think the reason is the material used - these are made of something nicknamed "iron bamboo", and that's one of the best materials for chopsticks. So while your actual contribution to the final product may not be all that much, what you get are actual high quality chopsticks that are as durable as they are a cool souvenir!

Our guide was the best and super patient with us. She really is so sweet and super nice. I would recommend to anyone. The chopsticks are very high quality

Very enjoyable! We love our new chopsticks! Experience was enjoyable, educational, a little meditative, and the host was very friendly. The shop also has some cool, unique stuff!

Truly recommend doing the chopsticks workshop here. You immediately get the feeling that it is an experienced worker and quality materials all around. The host in very friendly and guides you through the steps, so you end up with a beautiful set of unique chopsticks.

We made amazing chopsticks with our sensei! With the help of google translate we were able to understand that we were working with the best material. The host was explaining every step clearly! And nog we have very personal chopsticks.
