My chopstick experience CHINESE Good: large, long and steady (that did totally not sound weird). Easy to grab lotsa food at once like noodles etc. Square shaped, won't roll off table. Stick fight with your siblings Bad: Hard to use for small foods. JAPANESE Good: usually have very pretty designs and patterns. Easy to eat smaller food with, like snacks and side dishes. Visually appealing which makes them the most fun to collect (if you're interested) Bad: the opposite of the Chinese ones. Hurt my hands. Hard to pick up larger amount of food. They almost broke once lol KOREAN Good: more hygienic. You can almost use them as mirror to fix your hair or sumthing um yeah Bad: impossible to eat noodles with, without spoon. Super slippery. Hurts your teeth really bad if you accidentally bite your chopsticks
*bts took over the comment section baby* My experience: Chinese: Used it ever since I was little, so I can grab things perfectly fine. The end of the chopstick that you hold is not too thick and not too thin. It is also long, so you can adjust where you place your fingers on the chopstick without having the tips of your fingers touch the food. Japanese: I've only used them once. It's hard for me to use because I'm more used to using longer chopsticks. Plus, Japanese chopsticks are a bit thicker on the end that you are holding, so it feels uncomfortable in my hands. Korean: (haven't used it yet, but damn that looks too thin)
Well lmao this comment made me laugh actually I'm Korean and I can eat whatever I want with these chopsticks (maybe also because I used them since I was 4~5yo) And we do use different kinds of chopsticks, especially the ones made of but they are thinner and shorter thant the chinese ones
My boyfriend is korean so I'm actually used to the Korean chopsticks, but I have a shit ton of chopsticks at home (seriously Asian friends, stop giving me chopsticks as a gift) and the chinese ones are my favourite. The Korean chopsticks are not my favourite because for some goddamn reason, because they are flat, I can't use them with my left hand.
I relate to the Korean experience! Whenever I dine in a Korean restaurant I choose to use their 1-time use wooden chopsticks because the metal ones are just too slippery and fidgety for me.
Mal Arken I can't tell whether you straight up didn't even watch the video or if you couldn't comprehend their statement.. the Chinese ones are longer than the Japanese ones remember? It's literally in the first ten seconds.
Haiying Zeng Seems like your the one who cannot comprehend a simple statement dear lmfao, try reading it again but very slow and actually paying attention to the words kiddo 👍🏼
I always thought that there are only 2 types of chopsticks! Japanesse chopstick is commonly used here. Even if you go to chinese restauratlnt they use Japanesse chopstick. But no one knows here that Japanesse and Chinesse chopsticks are different
For Korean case, reason for chopsticks being flat is more of a result of attempt to make chopsticks as light and easy to grab (imagine how heavy they would get if they had same thickness/volume as as Japanese chopsticks) not necessarily to save material. + Traditionally a lot of tableware in Korea were made of metal called Bangjja/yugi
yes I do have jams well most start using it when we're really young(I learned how to use chopsticks when I was 4/6 I don't remember), and of course when your young, learning anything is much easier and is done more subconsciously than if you were a teen or adult
I'm at peace now, knowing the differences. My favorite is the Korean style. The weight kinda helped gripping food and the flat part at the end naturally rests without hurting on longer eating marathons. I love chopsticks!
Saw this in recommended. This type of slick but quirky presentation style on a relatively smallish scale but relevant to most people's everyday lives and can have interesting implications is what I like. Subbed.
I'm Chinese and I prefer Japanese chopsticks, then Chinese, then Korean. I really don't like how Korean chopsticks are flat, makes it hard to eat noodles (also, doesn't help that I'm the best at using chopsticks in the first place).
@@joychae7764 well no... We use metal one to eat noodles at home its not hard for korean at all But when it comes to delivery noodles We use wooden chopsticks Cuz its very cheap and Obviously we dont want to wash them All containers are one time used or recyclable So we abandon it or food restaurants recycle it So we use wooden chopstick not eating noodles Just for our laziness and when you delivered at river or house
I'm korean who learned and used the flat chopsticks my whole life, so I can grab just about anything with them, but japanese chopsticks feels like an extension of my own fingertips because they're so light and pointy. With that said, I can't use Chinese chopsticks at all. It doesn't feel precise enough, and they're too long, thick, and slippery. We have all three types at home and the Japanese and Korean chopsticks are used most frequently for eating, and the Chinese chopsticks are used only when cooking due to their length.
I'm glad that for once when RUclips recommended me something, it's something I've always wandered about but never really took time to research or learn: I'm glad I watched this, quite informative. 👌
There's a great book called Consider the Fork that discusses all kinds of things we use in the preparation and eating of food. There's a great section on chopsticks that had this information and more about how Georgia is having to send chopsticks to China because it can no longer produce enough disposable ones itself. The wood is already a desirable color so it doesn't need to be dyed before use. It's a really good read for people interested in why things change, when they change, and how one change leads to another. The audiobook is also really good!
In Japan, we have several different kinds chopsticks for different use, like "sai-bashi" (long and plain wood ones) for cooking, and pale colored plain wood ones with both ends pointed for the special occasions like New Year's day meals. We used to eat from individual small trays with four short legs, but nowadays we also have communal plates or bowls. In those cases, the communal chopsticks are used to move food to the individual plates/bowls for eating.
Silver utensils were used throughout chopstick using Asia for the same reason of detecting poison. In China, the emperor would have golden plate, golden bowls, golden everything for food, but the chopsticks would always be silver. The video also forgot the mention the different types of utility chopsticks for different type of food preparation.
Korean spoon is little bit long..and..i can see how they it escpeasialy in koreannkorean drama make my mouth watering...wherevi can buy it..i kive in asian country
It depends on where you eat in China. Take out food has the small round wooden ones, in most restaurants (and in my house) we use long ones. Because, as the video says, to reach dishes across the table, and for hot pot. I live in Sichuan Province home of spicy hot pot. But if you go to a Japanese restaurant or a Korean Restaurant then for sure you’ll get the according chopsticks. For the most part, Chinese chopsticks are long and wooden or Long and plastic.
As Chinese I have all 3 types. Metals ones are hollow in the center and round shape for better grip. However I do find myself reaching for the rustic long wood Chinese type of chopsticks. I just don’t like pattern or coating on chopsticks, and wood has better grip on food and I use it to fry stuff in non stick pan too.
the korean chopsticks are pretty hard to use properly (at least imo), since they're flat and the general rule is that you can't cross them at the top while using it
I have like all 3 kinds and I'm Korean lol My psyche on chopsticks: Metal chopsticks are metal chopsticks, wooden chopsticks are wooden. The metal chopsticks are easy to clean and take care of and generally work as well, but for noodles I use wooden chopsticks.
Always wondered about this. Like all of them although I find Korean ones very hard to use, mostly because food (noodles and anything with a hint of oil or humidity) slide off them with way too much because of the metal.😂😂
We have the Japanese and Korean type at home but I just prefer the Korean one because it's so much more durable and lighter to use. Plus if you have guests over and you're making Asian food it matches your silver set. Fancy af!
I recomend silver chopsticks because the wooden chopsticks gets molds, and it's just a bother to wash them, and silver chopsticks also take longer to rust just like forks and spoons, but I like the chinese chopsticks because my arms are a bit short and the chinese chopsticks are long, they're perfect for short-armed people like me, but I still like the long chinese chopsticks.
I might like long square Chinese-style chopsticks made out of silver (for arsenic detection and fanciness) if they had some texture to create friction for grabbing onto food, especially slippery noodles.
Well in cambodia. We usually have long bamboo chopsticks. Sometimes longer than the chinese ones. And we also tend to hold them differently. But it's not very well known outside of cambodia
Yesss!! They are collectible! I have lots of the Japanese kinds but few Chinese chopsticks...I still haven't had Korean chopsticks because I only see them in Korean bbq restaurants and such..
ugh i hate the chopsticks at dim sum places bc whenever im trying to grab the chicken leg i like WHY ARE YOU FALLING you literally cannot grip with those things
There’s also another reason why Chinese chopsticks are shaped like how it is, and that is ivory. Ever wonder why most chopsticks in Chinese restaurants are beige and plastic? It’s because in the old days the majority of Chinese chopsticks were made with ivory(hence the beige color) and ivory cannot be pointy as it is easier to break and also very sharp and dangerous. A thicker chopstick also prevents it from bending due to heat.
I have also heard that Short Chopsticks were used by the Japanese because in the past their rice was mixed with other grains and therefore not as sticky as Korean or Chinese Rice. Just something I heard living here. Nothing to back it up.
Dang if I was going to assassinate some emperor back then, I’d poison every single tater tot looking thing besides the one the taste tester would eat. Easy peasy.
In Thailand we give you a fork and a spoon. No knife, and no chopsticks. *Sometimes* restaurants in Thailand may give you a pair of chopsticks, they’re like Japanese and Chinese chopsticks combined.
Not sure if this is true, but I also heard that chinese chopsticks are longer so that you can use the other end of the chopsticks to pick from the shared pot.
I usually use Japanese and Korean chopstick for eating. Japanese chopstick is short and pointy. it's really comfortable to hold and grab the food. Korean chopstick is thin and seemly hard to use at the beginning but i love the material coz it's made of aluminum which is more hygienic I think. I dont really like the chinese chopstick. beside the fact that it's long chinese chopstick is really thick and it's really hard to hold. sometimes my hands hurt when i have to eat using chinese chopstick for long.
Those metal chopsticks are the best. Frying things and stirring things are way easier with them rather than using tongs or a spatula or whisking. Plus, my lack in skill of using the Japanese style chopsticks when eating my food makes me eat slower, which is great for losing weight lol.
I bought a pair on amazon of metal japanese style ones that are for travel. Unscrews into 4 pieces. Came with a tiny fork and spoon, cheap. I always take them with me to the chinese buffet.
This is surprising to me because whenever i get Chinese takeout they provide pointed chopsticks and when i have sushi, they usually provide square chopsticks.
Chinese were rich and had huge population so in the families of high status they have people who test their meal for them. And in the Qing court, everyone can only have just one bite or 2 for the whole dish to avoid the problem.
What about HOW to hold/use chopsticks? I kinda found that they way chinese people and korean/japanese people use chopsticks are kinda differents.chinese style are kinda "grip" food with their chopsticks and korean kinda only use the tip of their chopsticks..not sure if i'm the only one who see it this way
Japanese style for me. A little more portable, and I prefer very light weight chopsticks. I had a metal pair once but never used them because they were too heavy for my tastes. I have a couple of Chinese pairs but I only use them at home, and usually as serving utensils, not eating utensils.
but heavier chopsticks have more balance so you have more control of it. wooden chopsticks feel almost weightless so you have less perception of center of balance. from my experience atleast as a korean.
I hate all reusable chopsticks, especially the metal ones, because they're slippery. I really prefer the disposable wooden chopsticks. It's not environmentally friendly, but aside from giving the best performance, you know that they're clean.
Fun fact. Chinese (not sure if this shows up in other Asian cultures this is just wut I know) don't usually use knives while eating since they think you would be killing ur food again
I was so used to Chinese chopsticks that when I visited Korea for the first time I just thought "hey look chopsticks" but then proceeded to dropping them and almost spilling soup everywhere. They're really heavy ;.;

My chopstick experience
CHINESE
Good: large, long and steady (that did totally not sound weird). Easy to grab lotsa food at once like noodles etc. Square shaped, won't roll off table. Stick fight with your siblings
Bad: Hard to use for small foods.
JAPANESE
Good: usually have very pretty designs and patterns. Easy to eat smaller food with, like snacks and side dishes. Visually appealing which makes them the most fun to collect (if you're interested)
Bad: the opposite of the Chinese ones. Hurt my hands. Hard to pick up larger amount of food. They almost broke once lol
KOREAN
Good: more hygienic. You can almost use them as mirror to fix your hair or sumthing um yeah
Bad: impossible to eat noodles with, without spoon. Super slippery. Hurts your teeth really bad if you accidentally bite your chopsticks
*bts took over the comment section baby*

Why do I always feel like I'm the only one who actually likes Korean chopsticks lol
Well lmao this comment made me laugh actually
I'm Korean and I can eat whatever I want with these chopsticks (maybe also because I used them since I was 4~5yo)
And we do use different kinds of chopsticks, especially the ones made of but they are thinner and shorter thant the chinese ones
My boyfriend is korean so I'm actually used to the Korean chopsticks, but I have a shit ton of chopsticks at home (seriously Asian friends, stop giving me chopsticks as a gift) and the chinese ones are my favourite.

I've pretty much only used Japanese chopsticks my whole life. Then one day, I went to a Chinese restaurant. Damn near took my eye out!
Mal Arken I can't tell whether you straight up didn't even watch the video or if you couldn't comprehend their statement.. the Chinese ones are longer than the Japanese ones remember? It's literally in the first ten seconds.
The problem isn't pointy-ness. The problem is they're longer than what you're expecting.

Jae N yeah mine are metal but are hollow so it makes them lighter
I have some straight solid ones that are metal and some Japanese wooden ones, I can say for sure that the metal ones are heavy and impractical.
Exactly !!! Why would they made other tableware with metal and want to save material only for chopsticks??? Nonsense lol
I am chinese and literally I have the exact same brown chopsticks as the video
SAME
Min Yoongi really? I can't even use chopsticks I try
yes I do have jams well most start using it when we're really young(I learned how to use chopsticks when I was 4/6 I don't remember), and of course when your young, learning anything is much easier and is done more subconsciously than if you were a teen or adult

totally agree. my dad is the only one in my family really loves round head chopsticks.
Eating noodles, even Korean use wood chopsticks
@@joychae7764 well no...
We use metal one to eat noodles at home its not hard for korean at all
But when it comes to delivery noodles
We use wooden chopsticks
Cuz its very cheap and
Obviously we dont want to wash them
All containers are one time used or recyclable
So we abandon it or food restaurants recycle it
So we use wooden chopstick not eating noodles
Just for our laziness and when you delivered at river or house

FreshTiki yea especially with noodles
At 1:38 "so my *spirit* is also attached to the chopsticks."
It was supposed to be *spit* not *spirit*
Def one of my favorite videos of all time I rewatch and share it constantly
actually china has all kinds of chopsticks, its just that the one presented in the video is the most common one today

Japanese chopsticks for Japanese food
Chinese chopsticks for Chinese food
Korean chopsticks for Korean food
I have all the little food props in the video....

thank you.. very informative.. I have used chinese chopsticks ever since I can remember, and i love it :)
I never knew there were flat chopsticks before.
what about mix chopsticks? .. my grandparents used long metal round pointy ones
Those flat chopsticks are tricky to use.
FINALLY AN EXPLANATION!! Time to get chinese chopsticks cuz I get lazy when it comes to getting food from the serving plate

Using the flat Korean ones is kinda hard at first because you don't know where to grip it
Chinese were rich and had huge population so in the families of high status they have people who test their meal for them. And in the Qing court, everyone can only have just one bite or 2 for the whole dish to avoid the problem.
Oh and they do have the specific silverwares for testing too. But metal were considered not elegant if used as daily wares.
What about HOW to hold/use chopsticks? I kinda found that they way chinese people and korean/japanese people use chopsticks are kinda differents.chinese style are kinda "grip" food with their chopsticks and korean kinda only use the tip of their chopsticks..not sure if i'm the only one who see it this way
Asian moms always use chopsticks to cook.
Japanese style for me. A little more portable, and I prefer very light weight chopsticks. I had a metal pair once but never used them because they were too heavy for my tastes. I have a couple of Chinese pairs but I only use them at home, and usually as serving utensils, not eating utensils.
Silver also has antimicrobial properties :)
Should include Vietnamese chopsticks too. It is far longer than Chinese bc people don’t only eat together but also sit on the floor or mat to eat
Korean chopsticks are hard to use cause they're heavy and flat 😩
but heavier chopsticks have more balance so you have more control of it. wooden chopsticks feel almost weightless so you have less perception of center of balance.
from my experience atleast as a korean.
I hate all reusable chopsticks, especially the metal ones, because they're slippery. I really prefer the disposable wooden chopsticks. It's not environmentally friendly, but aside from giving the best performance, you know that they're clean.
2:23 My Jam😂
I really need to learn how to eat w/ chopsticks.
My hands like korean chopsticks the most, chinese chopsticks are much harder to hold
I'm from INDIA and we eat with good old reliable hand and it's awesome.
gud fur ya
Fun fact. Chinese (not sure if this shows up in other Asian cultures this is just wut I know) don't usually use knives while eating since they think you would be killing ur food again
My favorite type of chopstick is the Japanese chopstick.
Chinese people are very amused watching people try chopsticks for the first time. Even the tenth time.
What Korean drama did they show? I recognize it but can't remember the name!
MissNoBreigtr jewel in the palace. they placed the title on the upper right corner
I eat with Korean utensils
Icy fox Productions how do you hold the chopsticks without it sliding everywhere D:
inflatednarwhales _ The ones I've seen and eaten with aren't flat.
inflatednarwhales _ overtime you would get used to it and gain a grip
Me too
Wow jewel in the palace made into this video ... jang geum is real legend
I don't even notice the difference between them anymore when using. I struggled with the Korean one at first but now, they're no different
Where can I buy these brown chinese chopsticks on the internet?
lol. as a Korean, I use Chinese chopsticks when I cook some food and use Japanese or Korean ones when I eat.
I literally use all types of chopsticks😅
I have those red ones :)))
I'm used to using chinese chopsticks but thinking about it now i did wonder why the lengths were different 😱 never have thought of this.
What about Vietnam? What kind of chopsticks do they use?
I was so used to Chinese chopsticks that when I visited Korea for the first time I just thought "hey look chopsticks" but then proceeded to dropping them and almost spilling soup everywhere. They're really heavy ;.;
I keep titanium chop sticks in my bag just incase
And then there's Vietnam, the forgotten Sinospheric country.
The Chinese chopsticks are the ones my parents hit me with 😂
