Begin by choosing the type of wood you want to use for your chopsticks. Learn about the characteristics of each type of wood, such as color, scent, and texture. Choose from options like cypress, cherry, or walnut.
Next, use a special plane and file to shape your chopsticks. Gradually shave the wood to achieve the ideal thickness and length that fits comfortably in your hand. Finally, sand the chopsticks with sandpaper to create a smooth finish. Once the natural luster of the wood emerges, your chopsticks are complete.
Enjoy the soothing process of crafting your own chopsticks, feeling the natural scent and texture of the wood. This experience is both relaxing and rewarding, allowing you to create a unique souvenir or keepsake from your trip to Sapporo.

We had a fantastic time. Such a wonderful experience to work on your chopsticks, while Erika was teaching us and making sure everything looked balanced. We enjoyed this so much! The learning experience was amazing, we loved the making process and even better, we get to keep this memory for ever with our own-handmade chopsticks!
We had a wonderful time making our chopsticks. Erika was very patient and offered helpful advice when needed. Would recommend to anyone who wants a great souvenir! ありがとうございました師匠！！
It was an absolute pleasure to visit Erika‘s workshop! From the first moment you feel welcome, she explains every step in great detail, helps you out and can converse in excellent english :) All in all a must try if you are in Sapporo and want to go home with a special memory and nothing off-the-shelf!
Environment so clean and nice. Good Experience!
The experience was fun and Erika is very welcoming and helpful. Something a bit different when in Sapporo. Would definitely recommend
Erika ist eine tolle Kursleiterin. Ich hatte den Kurs kurzfristig gebucht und war die einzige Teilnehmerin. Die persönliche Betreuung war super. Für alle, die sich für spezielle Kursangebote interessieren, ist das ein absolutes MUSS.
chop stick making with our guide / host / teacher was an absolute blast! we had all our questions answered, helped fix all our mistakes, and at the end of it walked out with the most personal items made by ourselves! can't recommend highly enough.
