Hashi is the Japanese word for chopsticks, an essential Japanese culinary utensil. Let's make our own with experts from Japan!
We are pleased to be able to offer a special 90 minute chopstick-making workshop led by Mr. Yasunari Uenaka, the 3rd generation CEO of Hashitou, a famous chopstick company located in Tokyo’s well-known kitchenware district Kappabashi. He will be assisted by Mr. Mamoru Kaiho, who will make a short presentation on the history of these daily-used utensils. Each participant will have their own materials and tools to create a bespoke pair of chopsticks.
Don't miss this opportunity to make your very own pair of chopsticks using traditional Japanese methods taught by experts from Japan! Limited space available.
This class is open to anyone ages 13 and up. Those under 18 must register with a participating adult. We will be working with wood hand planers and other tools, so please be aware of the potential risk. By registering, you are acknowledging full responsibility for any personal injury.
