In my time in Japan I’ve noticed at almost every restaurant I’m offered cheap wooden chopsticks which splinter at the end and are asymmetrical. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s surprising to get these at places that cost 5000-12000 yen per person, including high end kaiseki and sushi places. It especially surprises me because the dish-ware at these places is beautiful.
Any ideas why this is the case?
