  • Chopsticks can be difficult to learn to use. Some countries in Asia have specific types of chopsticks and specific etiquette on how to use them. Many people don't notice the difference between types of chopsticks, so today I will be comparing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean chopsticks.

    2:16 the flat metal chopsticks in this photo is the most common standard chopstick you’d find in a Korean home. Also the traditional korean etiquette is to eat rice and soup with spoon and side dishes with chopsticks. And DON’T lift your bowl from the table.
    The one he has is actually a chinese chopstick, or more like how chinese chopsticks made and sold in korea are like. They are vacuum hollow on the inside so they are very light and are found in many school and hospital cafeterias.

      There are many good smells in Chinese food that might work in a fragrance and might not be that hard to reproduce. Our man is onto something delicious here.

I make sure to use a spoon for my rice, and that is how i have taught my kids to eat Korean food.

    I use the Japanese style chopsticks at my house and especially appreciate the little grooves at the end that help hold slippery foods. I can't do the Korean metal ones, though I do use the Korean spoons with the round vs oval shaped heads. The metal ones just hurt my hands too much, especially the solid/slender type more typically found in Korean homes than the hollow rounded version you demonstrated with.

    • @tumerica

      Japanese chopsticks with grooves at the end are cooking chopsticks. But whatever works, is a good thing.

      Things have probably changed now, but when I lived in Japan (decades ago), grooved chopsticks were only for cooking. Maybe they've become more popular for diners since then? Seems like a good idea.

    @minkowski2326 7 років тому +137

    Great research!! I want to add more things about Korean's chopsticks though. why are Korean chopsticks flat and made out of steel instead of wood? well because we sometimes use chopsticks for tearing apart Kimchi and fish etc. and sometimes Korean banchans (sidedishes) are heavier than the other countries' so we don't like wooden chopstick because it is bent and twisted sometimes when you grab heavier things among banchans. and you have to use metal chopsticks especially when you have a Samgeytang or Gamjatang because you have to separate your bone between meat with metal chopsticks. and think about Korean bbq. if you use wooden chopsticks then your chopstick will burn by the fire.

    I do (nearly) always have a pair of chopsticks with me! They were a gift years ago in Japan and they're handy in a pinch. The Chopsticks made of silver bit is fascinating to me and seems to make a bit of sense in certain cases, since the silver might blacken and tarnish when touching certain things, or perhaps react in other ways as well (have small pits form, etc.). Great Video!

    Koreans are right to just eat rice with a spoon. Ironically, [in my opinion] chopsticks feel better to use than western utensils most of the time, but it's when you have food like rice that it's better to use the western instrument.

      In terms of SE Asia the Chinese-style food is eaten with chopsticks, but some of the more local dishes, especially rice, are eaten with a spoon and fork, where the fork is used to shovel rice into the bowl of the spoon from a flat plate. Or you use hands.
      Chopsticks are more suited for the Asian style of eating though.... Western meals tend to be large slabs eg. steak, chicken drumsticks, meatloaf, etc rather than Asian dishes where everything's in bite sized pieces already so it's easier to pick up, and as for rice it's normal in Chinese etiquette to pick up the bowl and hold it to your mouth anyway. On the other hand, with Korean etiquette, picking up the bowl is bad manners, hence the spoon to scoop it.
      This is from personal observation anyway, and as a SE Asian person who frequently eats East and SE Asian food

    Been in Korea 9 years. The chopsticks in your video aren't the most common Korean chopsticks. The most common are metal, about half as thin, straight, flat, and with a slight taper. These truly take much more skill. I used to get hand cramps and fumbled with food. Now I can pick up one grain of rice with ease. Korean chopsticks offer precision. Koreans do however use Chinese style chopsticks for cooking. Great video!

      Generally, you only need the chopsticks to be twice the size of your index finger to find the same level of comfort. Prior to that, it's a problem of getting used to and developing the technique, although it's generally said that it's easier to start with ones which fit the size of your hands better.
      What I find interesting is that each cuisine tends to be designed and shaped around their respective pair of chopsticks.

    Korean Chopsticks are king!
    - Dishwasher safe for better hygiene
    - Won't warp when you wash them
    - Environmentally friendly
    - Sturdier construction means they won't break if you're doing the traditional thing of "cutting" your food with them instead of a knife
    - They generally have notches at the ends to provide better grip

      Some Japanese chopsticks have textured ends, but it's not really typical, the "classic" Japanese chopstick is made from lacquered wood along its whole length, which is pretty slippery.
      I like Japanese chopsticks because their light weight and greater taper make them feel much more "manoeuvrable"....

    I learned with Chinese chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant, but adjusted to Japanese chopsticks when I visited and came home with a pair or two. While in Japan, my host family pointed out how I hold my chopsticks quite far near the top end, I said I just wasn't used to Japanese chopsticks being much shorter. Ironically, now we have Korean chopsticks at home, but that's literally just because steel is much easier to wash and the kids can't break them by slamming them on the table when they don't like dinner.

    one of your best... i first used chopsticks, chakarah in Korea, (spelled much differently in Korean Hahnguhl characters), when I was a young Infantry Soldier invited to dine with a Korean Family in Tongduchong Korea in 1977. The amount and diversity of the food was amazing and I was overwhelmed by the hospitality. One thing I noticed, not many talked, but everyone was busy eating and swallowing. I will never forget it, and one thing which I don't know is Asian or Korean, but they serve sea weed at almost every meal. thanks for the memories.. Peace! Will be back in Seoul of the 6th of Ferburary, and want to eat a nice dish of Ohm Rice... No, it has nothing to do with electricity.

    • @e.f.c.2341
      @e.f.c.2341 5 років тому +3

      Not ideal for wet foods. Needs more effort just to grip with metal ones. They tend to be heavier than bamboo one (unless very thin and hollow). And I haven't really met anyone Asian (yet) who thinks metal ones are easier to use. Same goes to plastic ones. It also absorbs heat, so if you leave your metal chopsticks in a really hot dish, ouch.
      It has more cons than pros. But I do respect your personal opinion, it means your tastes are unique.

This was long before covid , I have since graduated, but I did tend to share the food we made because there was so much. One cabbage lasts a lot longer than you think, anyone who has made Chinese understands this sentiment.

      @garlicidol7258 6 років тому +5

      I don't really like the flat Korean chopsticks. They are hard to grip since you are only gripping on 2 of the sides (either the flat sides or the thin sides). Chinese and Japanese chopsticks are better since you have equal proportions on all 4 sides. That's my opinion. But, the metal chopsticks are easier to clean/wash tho. Washing chopsticks can be a nightmare lol
      edit: after holding the Korean chopsticks your hand would get very tired
