There are also a different type of Korean chopsticks that are round not flat and made of metal, I think those are a bit easier to use than the flat ones. They even have little ridges on the bottom part to grip the noodles easier.
It's even more slippery than the flat one imo... Hahah The Japanese one with the thin end is also sometimes hard to use depending on the material. Altho there's chopstick there with thicker end like the Chinese one. Thicker end and square-ish shaped
And then for Chinese chopsticks, there are different types, there is wooden chopsticks which is disposable("dry" ones, not the smooth ones like what u see in the vid)
It's actually not entirely accurate though. Both the Chinese and Korean ladies are using their chopsticks wrongly for their local standards. They seem like they were never taught how to properly use chopsticks, and they just winged it. They aren't representative of chopstick users in their representative cultures.
It seems like artificially forcing differences for the sake of talking about differences though. I know other countries than Korea use metal chopsticks for example.
@@ijinseo My family used metal chopsticks in Taiwan for many years, and I use them in the US. But they are the round metal kind. I think Korea also has the flat metal kind that I haven't seen many other places, other than Korean restaurants.
As an Indian I never thought there would be much difference between chopsticks 😂. This was very interesting to watch! I love how they're all are shaped differently to suit the cuisines of each culture!
@@arijitdas3891 i use hand, spoon and i have a bunchhh of chopsticks at home that we also eat with, we have the mix of everything the korean style is what we mainly use which is etal but slightly rounded, flat plastic ones with ridges at the bottom and the chinese style wooden ones
I've been studying Japanese for a long time and when Kotaha started speaking I thought I had forgotten everything I learned before I realized they are all speaking Korean 🙃🙃🙃 I had expected them all to speak in their native languages, but it's so cool to hear people speak that fluently in another language. Such a great video, I was super entertained and inspired!
And I’m sitting here trying to pick up one measly word to try and figure out which language they were speaking in 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. When I eat with chopsticks, I use two pairs. One to get the food to my plate from the shared dish and the other to eat. I’m probably breaking a cardinal rule 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I was a little bit confused because I also thought they were all speaking in their mother tongue, until I discovered they didn't sound different at all. So then I thought about which language they spoke in (maybe some esperanto-ish Asian labguage to make it easy for them to communicate) until I read here that it was actually korean

They did Jane dirty by not giving her appropriate chopsticks 😭 I'll add some thoughts since this comment kinda took off: This was so interesting! I had no idea that chopsticks could be so different between cultures, I thought they were the same everywhere! It also was super interesting to learn about Japanese chopsticks etiquette, I didn't know about it, I'll be careful with my chopsticks if I go to Japan one day 😅
China is the most multicultural country compared to Japan & Korea, there are some differences in the customs, foods, tablewares (incl. chopsticks), etc even between different sub ethnic of Han ethnic. For me, Jane's chopstick is (or at least looks like) the type of chopstick that I usually use for eating, and I have no problem eating Chinese, Japanese, Korean food with it, since I used to use it since kid

This was such an interesting intercultural lesson. Would've never learned this anywhere else I think. Im vietnamese and never thought that other country's chopsticks would be dishes. We definitely inherited chopstick shape from China.
I'm Vietnamese too and I was really surprised with Japan. I didn't know chopstick etiquette is so important, Id be a disgrace bc I use mine to play drums against the table🤣
Strangely I grew up with chopsticks that were pointy and round but long like the Chinese ones. Not sure if you know them. It wasn’t until I went to Viet restaurants and other peoples houses that I used the thicker round to square ones
@@darrenjones2933 my guess is korean food have a lot pickled food which r not good to keep wood chopsticks last long. So korean have invented the metal ones to adapted their cusine.
Well my dreams of going to Japan are shattered- don't wanna offend someone and their 14 generations with my terrible chopstick skills I'm trying to learn tho
For me personally, Korean metal chopstick is the hardest. The fact that it's flat and veeery slippery 😅 But it's fun to use it just to challenge myself 😂 I'm more used to Japanese and Chinese ones.
@samuel Y yes, I agree on that. Metal is easier to clean. It also takes less space in the drawers and don't have to worry about breaking it. But my flimsy fingers always drop and splattered things when I use it 😅
me too. As a Chinese I would obviously be most comfortable with Chinese chopsticks. I think for me Japanese chopsticks are much easier to use than Korean chopsticks. I went to a Korean restaurant and I struggled to use it. It was so heavy and flat haha
Properly holding chopsticks is vital in chinese manners. Ppl may not point it out, but if someone can't hold chopstick properly, it will be harmful for this persons' public impression. Also, only picking food from the side near to you; never search the bits u like from a sharing plate; do not tapping ur chopsticks on ur bowl; do not use chopstick pointing at ppl; do not lick ur chopstick; do not stick the chopstick in the rice, etc,..... The chinese girl hasnt mentioned doesn't mean we dont have manners to use chopsticks. Yet, what ive mentioned are only few eating manners related to chopstick using in china, there are lots lots lots more for the rest. The rules might be varied, but they do exist in all these three countries.
@@keke9361 it is also more noble or elegant to hold the chopsticks higher. Also, using chopsticks properly was drilled into me as a kid and we also definitely judge or give grief to someone who uses a twisting method instead of the proper method to using chopsticks. Also using them properly which the Chinese girl in the video was on the looser side of doing allows you to pick up pretty much everything from soft tofu to a little peanut.
Im glad many people are finding this video educational! Im still a little sad Jane wasn't given the traditional Chinese chopsticks, but nonetheless, she did a great job explaining and it's nice knowing people are learning about the differences in the chopstick styles and other cultural topics from this channel :)
Yeah I was kinda hoping someone would run out halfway through and get a real set if she was there to demo them! At least she just went "ah whatever I'm using them the other way around, let's do this"
@@xinxin3525 theyre supposed to be longer, thicker, and less pointy at the end. The design would also have the back end with a square cross-section and front/food end with a circular cross-section & a flat tip. The food end should also touch when the chopsticks are put together and the tips shouldn't have those grove lines the one in the video have. Theyre supposed to look like the thick plastic ones they give at authentic Chinese restaurants but in wood, so the ones in the video are still chinese chopsticks, but unfortunately they arent traditional. I hope this helps :))
I've tried to learn to eat with chopsticks, but struggled a lot with larger things, tempted to try and find a pair of the traditional chinese chopsticks and try those, it seems I may find them easier than the more tapered styles I've tried before
I'm a Swiss guy watching this with subtitles and putting your Korean through GoogelyTranslate. I really love how people can come together through the Web like this, and I agree it's the respectful tone and interest in one another's cultures that makes this video great.

@@Hhhh22222-w No that's the mandatory side dish, that's a given so there's no need to mention it all the time. Although there can be some regional variances, I'm Irish too but I prefer to eat my food with leprechauns myself.

Unfortunately in today's China there are barely any dining etiquettes. I've seen soooo many people, both old and young, eating in an exceedingly disgusting and sloppy manner while smacking their lips so loudly. Japan is the best when it comes to refined manners, mindfulness and hospitality, however some people find the atmosphere in Japan too strict and unnecessarily formal.
@@nicxi8629 There are people with poor dining etiquette all around the world. That's a fact. There are people who eat tomato all around the world. That's a fact, too. And the country with the highest level of tomato per capita consumption is Turkey. And what does it mean? It means, if you go to Turkey, you "tend to" see more tomato dishes than anywhere else in the world. Hope you get the idea.
@@salihcandemir9364 I feel like that in China then you eat noodles the main thing is to enjoy it and not many people will care about your eating habits (that doesn’t mean that everyone will not care) also noodles are quite messy to eat especially soup noodles. It’s mainly different cultures and how people portray things. Other people may think that it’s rude and bad manners to slurp but maybe Chinese people think that it’s a way of expressing how to enjoy food. But I just have one request. Please don’t use this as a stereotype and unintentionally make it seem like you are being rude. Please don’t see a Chinese person and just say to your friends that the Chinese people eat messily. Because this will set a bad stereotype and degrade the country that you are talking about
@@salihcandemir9364 actually if you hang around with more refined company in China, traditionally they have a lot of etiquette about using chopsticks. Like how pointing at things with chopsticks is bad, how poking your chopstick into food is bad, how placing the chopsticks upright is bad, and how eating while producing sound is bad (this includes speaking with food in your mouth, smacking the lips, chewing sounds and slurping sounds when eating noodles). There even a traditional Chinese idiom that says “you don’t speak when you eat”. Conversely, there is one exceptional point that is part of traditional Japanese etiquette that says that one should slurp their noodles (in a noisy/audible way) because the slurping sound indicates appreciation for the food. (But on one hand I understand your complaint/observation. There are some Chinese people who are very unrefined in their use of chopsticks, these tend to be people from the countryside/villages. China went though a period of great poverty not so long ago and these poor people have little regard for etiquette/manners when they were starving and have thus developed “bad” etiquette. But if you were to eat with people of status or from a more refined background, those people will judge you quite harshly for your table etiquette: how to use your chopsticks, when and how to reach for food, the order in which people around their table get to eat in, where you place yourself/seating position at the round table according to age/status, who pours the tea, etc... So for example: 1) the most elderly in the group (which also tends to correlate with the one of highest status) have to sit at a position that faces the door or the opening to the room where the table is in. 2) no one else at the table can touch their chopsticks until the most elderly in the group has taken their first piece of food and have at least placed it on his/her personal plate/bowl. Youngest should get their food last. 3) Host should pour tea for guests and in order of age/status. Guest should reply by knocking on the table as a gesture of thanks, there are even differences in knocking gestures based on status/age. 5) when ‘dedicating’ tea before drinking, host should first do so towards guests, then towards one’s family/close relations. 6) one cannot push food around in a plate with chopsticks and pick at one’s food with it. 7) food should not be flipped over, even whole fish after the top of it is consumed - you should lift the bones up/debone it to get to the meat underneath the bones. 8) rubbing one chopstick against another is also considered bad manners, etc...)
I watched a similar video to this a while ago, and just to add a few more facts: - Korean chopsticks were made of metal as soldiers (I'm not sure which war/era) found it easier to transport and clean than wooden ones, hence why its also flatter than other chopticks so it'd take up less space when moving around. - Japanese chopticks are usually made of wood as it's again easier to take out fish bones, just like the thickness of it matters too. - Historically, Chinese chopsticks were made longer not just because food is placed on a big table and might be further away, but also to be able to put food on the plate of the people you were eating with as solidarity was also shown through communal eating and feeding others. Idk why I remember these facts but I hope someone out there found the extra information useful!!
@@血雨探花-d9e But the Japanese lady said that they aren’t allowed to stab there food or they get in trouble/scolded. So the Japanese don’t stab their food either.
Korean metal chopsticks were first excavated from the tomb of a king in AD 523. It was mainly used with silver to prevent the king from being poisoned, but the common people couldn't make silver chopsticks, so they used iron.
In addition, the Japanese have bad teeth because it is impolite in their culture to spit out bones or fish bones, so their food is softer, their teeth are less stimulated during the growth stage, and they are more likely to grow crooked teeth, leading to a host of oral problems.
I’m Singaporean Chinese and the korean flat metal chopsticks was really difficult for me at first too! During my first meal in Korea, I couldn’t pick anything up that my korean colleague even asked me if I knew how to use chopsticks and offered me a fork instead 😂
i learn using chopsticks with a pencil mongol no. 2... and later on the metal chopsticks from my koreans co-worker.. i find it not so difficult as you use pencil mongol no. 2 as your practice material... ahahahaha picking up mongo beans with pencil was quite fun!!!
American-born Japanese here: We turn around the chopsticks when eating “family style” so that we don’t touch the common dishes and serve other people food with the ends we actually eat with. But I heard from Japanese friends that it actually can be putting others at a distance by being too formal. Don’t know all the politeness rules because my family came here early 1900s and the manners have changed since my grandpa’s generation.
@@chayashidaI lived in Japan for 12 years, so, It is true that u should flip your chopsticks to touch food that other people will aswell, but not many people bother, unless it's a formal occasion, or kids trying to look grown up😂😂
I use all three. But prefer Chinese chopsticks, the squarish ones, because they are the most versatile. Japanese chopsticks are too short and Korean ones are too flat and slippery
True I have Korean chopsticks I like using them when eating Korean bbq. Chinese chopsticks and soup spoon easier for eating noodles and broth. True Japanese chopsticks are easier to debone and eat fish with.
Facts: Korean chopsticks is flat because in ancient Korean Dynasties, the servant in the palace find it hard to carry the food along with the chopsticks (which was round back in the days) because their tray has no wall sides to stop the chopsticks from falling down, so they improvised the chopsticks and make it flat so it won't fall off anymore.
@@Pip3queak Idk, if you watch the Korean Dynasties based drama/movie/documentary, their tray is just like flat plank of wood, if I'm wrong just point it out.
@@LiuTheRick not sure whether it is a fact, but I was making fun of why they wouldn’t think of making better trays. But just as a discussion, wouldn’t they accommodate the royals more than the staff? Flat/rectangular chopsticks are so hard to use.
I didn’t know there was such a difference between the chopsticks I’m pretty used to the Japanese ones but I find it interesting how some chopsticks are better for different food

I’ve never tried this type but as she mentioned, the gap can cause issues when it comes to noodles and thinner food items. Of course perhaps bamboo would help in that regard by providing some texture to avoid slipping?
@@cuesegue i have only tried the chinese type and korean metal type ive also tried a few times. The bamboo and plastic are really common honestly in the environments i was in in china i think i used plastic a little bit more, so bamboo texture might theoretically help but i think everyone is expected to be able to eat the same types of food with the plastic which does not have texture, for slippery foods it is the thickness of the chopstick not any texture that helps. And for thin items its a bit inconvenient but possible or like seaweed or some dishes you may eat with your hands or tangchi 汤匙 soup spoon depending on what kind of food it is

When I first bought Korean chopsticks, I was shocked at the hand strain. Being used to the light weight and relative thickness of standard wooden disposable chopsticks, it took a while to get used to the metal style. The heavier weight, and the slightly tighter grip due to the thin & flat shape, had my hands feeling like I’d worked out. 😂 I got used to it, though.
Well, as Chinese I use the other side of the chopsticks only when I need to pick up the food to the other's bowl, to show politeness and neatness without spreading each others' saliva.
Well we in sri Lanka ( south asia ) have separate bowls with dishes and big spoons in them, if we want some of it, we ask the person closest to it while handing or holding our plate close to them to put some on our plate.
As a Korean I've seen other Koreans do it as well and I've done it once or twice but then one days realized had bacteria isn't much better than mouth bacteria so now I just get an second pair of chopsticks if needed.
As someone that grew up in Japan and learned to use 'chopsticks' (O'hashi) way before I learned to use the much easier Fork, this has been fascinating to learn about my brothers and sisters in China and Korea. I think its also interesting that all three ladies speak Korean. Very enlightening and fun video.
It was very interesting seeing not only how the chopsticks are different, but also WHY they're different! It really makes you think about how our cultures are reflected in even the smallest of things.
I'm more used to the Chinese chopsticks since my dad's side is Chinese so we ate in a lot of Chinese restos. So when I started eating in Samgyupsals, it was so difficult to get used to the Korean chopsticks then I bought Japanese ones and it was a bit easier. But I'd say each kind serve very specific purposes related to their cuisine so keeping 3 of them is definitely better

Korean chopsticks are the most difficult to use imo - especially the flat ones. Japanese chopsticks are the easiest to use because it is shorter and has a sharper tip. Chinese is somewhere inbetween - but better used for when cooking because it is longer.
Agreed, but Korean ones are the most precise if you can literally handle them. You’ll have the most accuracy, splitting power, and control with the denser, heavier sticks. #NotForNewbs.
It's funny to see how different choptsticks can be and how they are made for eating different shapes of food. I'm from Chinese background, but I like to use korean metal chopsticks more because they are heavier.
I'm Korean so I'm used to Korean chopsticks, but the flat metal ones that are heavy can be a huge pain to use. Koreans also use round metal chopsticks that are hollow inside, which makes them lighter than the flat metal ones. I prefer these hollow round chopsticks over the flat metal ones. I find that plastic Chinese chopsticks are the hardest for me to use because they're thick, very square and thus hard to hold, don't often have a gap at the ends, and can also be slippery. If they're wooden, it's not as difficult to use. I've seen similarly square, long, plastic chopsticks at Vietnamese Pho restaurants as well. Japanese chopsticks have usually been wooden and thus have good grip, but the pointy ends and short length make picking things up without accidentally cutting stuff difficult. They all have their pros and cons! :) I think the difference in Asian spoons can be an interesting topic, too. Koreans never use those deep soup spoons that I've seen in Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese restaurants, but rather the flat, wide metal spoons.
@@RinLaHarlequin Wow that's a very interesting point of view ! I didn't know Koreans had round metal chopsticks. When would you use the flat ones and when would you use the round ones ? Or is it just about personal preferences ? I agree, it would be very interesting to compare spoons in Asia, or even spoons from all around the world. I live in France, spoons here are also different from what I saw when I went to Asia, the Vietnamese ones look more like what we have here.
I really enjoyed watching you talk and show the differences in each chop stick use. I’ve used all three but Korea’s is more difficult for me. I like the rudiments of the Japanese table rules but I like the long Chinese sticks because I find the Japanese ones too short at times. However, I thank you all three for presenting the differences I really learned something. Also your all most lovely. Stay safe and healthy.

Such a great video, I was super entertained and inspired!
Yes I also thought that they all going to speak in their native languages.
Lol same. Made me question my understanding of Japanese language
And I’m sitting here trying to pick up one measly word to try and figure out which language they were speaking in 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️. When I eat with chopsticks, I use two pairs. One to get the food to my plate from the shared dish and the other to eat. I’m probably breaking a cardinal rule 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I was a little bit confused because I also thought they were all speaking in their mother tongue, until I discovered they didn't sound different at all. So then I thought about which language they spoke in (maybe some esperanto-ish Asian labguage to make it easy for them to communicate) until I read here that it was actually korean
I realized they were speaking Korean immediately because I noticed the Korean girl in the middle started speaking like a host for the other girls.

its like "rice is rice"
About 7 thousand years ago, the best tableware in the life of Neolithic people in order to deal with meat-eating people was of course knives, but people called this kind of knives on the table "daggers" at that time.
It is conceivable that the smart ancient Chinese first applied the knife to their diet.

This unearthed bronze dagger has two practical functions: one is equivalent to a spoon, and the other is equivalent to a table knife, which can be cut and fished. In fact, in the pre-Qin period, the "dagger" evolved from the knife, and later gradually formed the two functions of the knife and the spoon. After that, it only functions as a spoon.😄🦄🐼

For me personally, Korean metal chopstick is the hardest. The fact that it's flat and veeery slippery 😅
But it's fun to use it just to challenge myself 😂
I'm more used to Japanese and Chinese ones.
@samuel Y yes, I agree on that. Metal is easier to clean. It also takes less space in the drawers and don't have to worry about breaking it.
But my flimsy fingers always drop and splattered things when I use it 😅
me too. As a Chinese I would obviously be most comfortable with Chinese chopsticks. I think for me Japanese chopsticks are much easier to use than Korean chopsticks. I went to a Korean restaurant and I struggled to use it. It was so heavy and flat haha
Me too. I prefer to Japan & Chinesse chopstick😁
Same! 😆 Because of flat shape, I need to hold/grip properly
@samuel Y Well there are a lot made from plastics nowadays haha
japan : manners is everything when eating
korea & china : eat is eat
There are a lot of subtle manners when eating Chinese food especially at a banquet and it's considered quite rude to serve yourself first.
Properly holding chopsticks is vital in chinese manners. Ppl may not point it out, but if someone can't hold chopstick properly, it will be harmful for this persons' public impression.
Also, only picking food from the side near to you; never search the bits u like from a sharing plate; do not tapping ur chopsticks on ur bowl; do not use chopstick pointing at ppl; do not lick ur chopstick; do not stick the chopstick in the rice, etc,..... The chinese girl hasnt mentioned doesn't mean we dont have manners to use chopsticks. Yet, what ive mentioned are only few eating manners related to chopstick using in china, there are lots lots lots more for the rest.
The rules might be varied, but they do exist in all these three countries.
In America the girls just strap a feed bag onto their faces!😈😜
@@keke9361 it is also more noble or elegant to hold the chopsticks higher. Also, using chopsticks properly was drilled into me as a kid and we also definitely judge or give grief to someone who uses a twisting method instead of the proper method to using chopsticks. Also using them properly which the Chinese girl in the video was on the looser side of doing allows you to pick up pretty much everything from soft tofu to a little peanut.
@@steveforbes7718 idk who you live around but no girl does that🤨
Im glad many people are finding this video educational! Im still a little sad Jane wasn't given the traditional Chinese chopsticks, but nonetheless, she did a great job explaining and it's nice knowing people are learning about the differences in the chopstick styles and other cultural topics from this channel :)
Yeah I was kinda hoping someone would run out halfway through and get a real set if she was there to demo them! At least she just went "ah whatever I'm using them the other way around, let's do this"
I'm a chinese but how is a traditional chopstick?
@@xinxin3525 theyre supposed to be longer, thicker, and less pointy at the end. The design would also have the back end with a square cross-section and front/food end with a circular cross-section & a flat tip. The food end should also touch when the chopsticks are put together and the tips shouldn't have those grove lines the one in the video have. Theyre supposed to look like the thick plastic ones they give at authentic Chinese restaurants but in wood, so the ones in the video are still chinese chopsticks, but unfortunately they arent traditional. I hope this helps :))
I've tried to learn to eat with chopsticks, but struggled a lot with larger things, tempted to try and find a pair of the traditional chinese chopsticks and try those, it seems I may find them easier than the more tapered styles I've tried before

This actually got me very interested in fine dinning in other countries. There's so much hidden etiquette when it comes to fine.
Loved when she started explaining japanese etiquette.
Unfortunately in today's China there are barely any dining etiquettes. I've seen soooo many people, both old and young, eating in an exceedingly disgusting and sloppy manner while smacking their lips so loudly.
Japan is the best when it comes to refined manners, mindfulness and hospitality, however some people find the atmosphere in Japan too strict and unnecessarily formal.
@@salihcandemir9364 there are people with bad dining etiquette all around the world so let's not generalize a whole country on ur own experiences.
@@nicxi8629 There are people with poor dining etiquette all around the world. That's a fact.
There are people who eat tomato all around the world. That's a fact, too.
And the country with the highest level of tomato per capita consumption is Turkey.
And what does it mean? It means, if you go to Turkey, you "tend to" see more tomato dishes than anywhere else in the world.
Hope you get the idea.
@@salihcandemir9364 I feel like that in China then you eat noodles the main thing is to enjoy it and not many people will care about your eating habits (that doesn’t mean that everyone will not care) also noodles are quite messy to eat especially soup noodles. It’s mainly different cultures and how people portray things. Other people may think that it’s rude and bad manners to slurp but maybe Chinese people think that it’s a way of expressing how to enjoy food. But I just have one request. Please don’t use this as a stereotype and unintentionally make it seem like you are being rude. Please don’t see a Chinese person and just say to your friends that the Chinese people eat messily. Because this will set a bad stereotype and degrade the country that you are talking about
@@salihcandemir9364 actually if you hang around with more refined company in China, traditionally they have a lot of etiquette about using chopsticks. Like how pointing at things with chopsticks is bad, how poking your chopstick into food is bad, how placing the chopsticks upright is bad, and how eating while producing sound is bad (this includes speaking with food in your mouth, smacking the lips, chewing sounds and slurping sounds when eating noodles). There even a traditional Chinese idiom that says “you don’t speak when you eat”.
Conversely, there is one exceptional point that is part of traditional Japanese etiquette that says that one should slurp their noodles (in a noisy/audible way) because the slurping sound indicates appreciation for the food.
(But on one hand I understand your complaint/observation. There are some Chinese people who are very unrefined in their use of chopsticks, these tend to be people from the countryside/villages. China went though a period of great poverty not so long ago and these poor people have little regard for etiquette/manners when they were starving and have thus developed “bad” etiquette. But if you were to eat with people of status or from a more refined background, those people will judge you quite harshly for your table etiquette: how to use your chopsticks, when and how to reach for food, the order in which people around their table get to eat in, where you place yourself/seating position at the round table according to age/status, who pours the tea, etc...
So for example: 1) the most elderly in the group (which also tends to correlate with the one of highest status) have to sit at a position that faces the door or the opening to the room where the table is in. 2) no one else at the table can touch their chopsticks until the most elderly in the group has taken their first piece of food and have at least placed it on his/her personal plate/bowl. Youngest should get their food last. 3) Host should pour tea for guests and in order of age/status. Guest should reply by knocking on the table as a gesture of thanks, there are even differences in knocking gestures based on status/age. 5) when ‘dedicating’ tea before drinking, host should first do so towards guests, then towards one’s family/close relations. 6) one cannot push food around in a plate with chopsticks and pick at one’s food with it. 7) food should not be flipped over, even whole fish after the top of it is consumed - you should lift the bones up/debone it to get to the meat underneath the bones. 8) rubbing one chopstick against another is also considered bad manners, etc...)
I watched a similar video to this a while ago, and just to add a few more facts:
- Korean chopsticks were made of metal as soldiers (I'm not sure which war/era) found it easier to transport and clean than wooden ones, hence why its also flatter than other chopticks so it'd take up less space when moving around.
- Japanese chopticks are usually made of wood as it's again easier to take out fish bones, just like the thickness of it matters too.
- Historically, Chinese chopsticks were made longer not just because food is placed on a big table and might be further away, but also to be able to put food on the plate of the people you were eating with as solidarity was also shown through communal eating and feeding others.
Idk why I remember these facts but I hope someone out there found the extra information useful!!
Thanks, very useful stuff
@@血雨探花-d9e But the Japanese lady said that they aren’t allowed to stab there food or they get in trouble/scolded. So the Japanese don’t stab their food either.
@@justvibing2171 oh well nevermind then
Korean metal chopsticks were first excavated from the tomb of a king in AD 523.
It was mainly used with silver to prevent the king from being poisoned,
but the common people couldn't make silver chopsticks,
so they used iron.
In addition, the Japanese have bad teeth because it is impolite in their culture to spit out bones or fish bones, so their food is softer, their teeth are less stimulated during the growth stage, and they are more likely to grow crooked teeth, leading to a host of oral problems.
I’m Singaporean Chinese and the korean flat metal chopsticks was really difficult for me at first too! During my first meal in Korea, I couldn’t pick anything up that my korean colleague even asked me if I knew how to use chopsticks and offered me a fork instead 😂

Facts: Korean chopsticks is flat because in ancient Korean Dynasties, the servant in the palace find it hard to carry the food along with the chopsticks (which was round back in the days) because their tray has no wall sides to stop the chopsticks from falling down, so they improvised the chopsticks and make it flat so it won't fall off anymore.

The bamboo and plastic are really common honestly in the environments i was in in china i think i used plastic a little bit more, so bamboo texture might theoretically help but i think everyone is expected to be able to eat the same types of food with the plastic which does not have texture, for slippery foods it is the thickness of the chopstick not any texture that helps. And for thin items its a bit inconvenient but possible or like seaweed or some dishes you may eat with your hands or tangchi 汤匙 soup spoon depending on what kind of food it is

출연진 아버님의 세대들은 할아버지 세대들에게 혼나면서 젓가락질을 배웠습니다. 요즘은 시대가 바뀌었는지 젓가락질로 뭐라 하지 않지만, 저 시대에 어른들과 식사할 때 한 소리 들었죠. 당시 저도 젓가락질을 특이하게 했는데 "가정교육의 문제"라는 말들 듣고 바로 바꿨던 기억이 납니다.
Cast Father's Generation learned how to use chopsticks by being scolded by grandfather's generation. These days, I don't say anything about chopsticks, but I heard it when I was eating with adults. At that time, I also used chopsticks in a unique way, but I remember that I changed it right after hearing that it was a problem of home education.

Using two solid metal chopsticks in your two fingers and balancing them....They ought to feel heavier compared to the wooden ones!

@@alternatecheems8145 shouldn't weight play a factor in that too?
When I first bought Korean chopsticks, I was shocked at the hand strain. Being used to the light weight and relative thickness of standard wooden disposable chopsticks, it took a while to get used to the metal style. The heavier weight, and the slightly tighter grip due to the thin & flat shape, had my hands feeling like I’d worked out. 😂 I got used to it, though.

Well, as Chinese I use the other side of the chopsticks only when I need to pick up the food to the other's bowl, to show politeness and neatness without spreading each others' saliva.
we (sometimes) do that in japan too :D
公筷：
@@AP27046 yes, that is now the new trend called the "Shared Chopsticks" each people has one to grab the food from the plate to own bowl.
Well we in sri Lanka ( south asia ) have separate bowls with dishes and big spoons in them, if we want some of it, we ask the person closest to it while handing or holding our plate close to them to put some on our plate.
As a Korean I've seen other Koreans do it as well and I've done it once or twice but then one days realized had bacteria isn't much better than mouth bacteria so now I just get an second pair of chopsticks if needed.
As someone that grew up in Japan and learned to use 'chopsticks' (O'hashi) way before I learned to use the much easier Fork, this has been fascinating to learn about my brothers and sisters in China and Korea. I think its also interesting that all three ladies speak Korean. Very enlightening and fun video.
Thank you for saying what language everyone was conversing in! Unfortunately I don't have an ear for such things, but I did wonder.
I found that interesting as well. Perhaps they're exchange students who learned Korean or their families immigrated there? 🤷 But it is cool

It was very interesting seeing not only how the chopsticks are different, but also WHY they're different! It really makes you think about how our cultures are reflected in even the smallest of things.
I'm more used to the Chinese chopsticks since my dad's side is Chinese so we ate in a lot of Chinese restos. So when I started eating in Samgyupsals, it was so difficult to get used to the Korean chopsticks then I bought Japanese ones and it was a bit easier. But I'd say each kind serve very specific purposes related to their cuisine so keeping 3 of them is definitely better

But rice like nasi lemak or roti canai ive learned to use hands. I rarely use spoon fork and knife unless its western food or steaks
Korean chopsticks are the most difficult to use imo - especially the flat ones.
Japanese chopsticks are the easiest to use because it is shorter and has a sharper tip.
Chinese is somewhere inbetween - but better used for when cooking because it is longer.
Wow... And I thought Korean chopsticks were so easy- I use 'em everyday
Agreed, but Korean ones are the most precise if you can literally handle them. You’ll have the most accuracy, splitting power, and control with the denser, heavier sticks. #NotForNewbs.
As an Indonesian who already tried to use all of them, I agree with this. I still can't use the Korean chopsticks well until now
ok
@@Soaqq same here!
It's funny to see how different choptsticks can be and how they are made for eating different shapes of food. I'm from Chinese background, but I like to use korean metal chopsticks more because they are heavier.
...金属筷子不适合吃热的东西，烫的一批
I'm Korean so I'm used to Korean chopsticks, but the flat metal ones that are heavy can be a huge pain to use. Koreans also use round metal chopsticks that are hollow inside, which makes them lighter than the flat metal ones. I prefer these hollow round chopsticks over the flat metal ones.
I find that plastic Chinese chopsticks are the hardest for me to use because they're thick, very square and thus hard to hold, don't often have a gap at the ends, and can also be slippery. If they're wooden, it's not as difficult to use. I've seen similarly square, long, plastic chopsticks at Vietnamese Pho restaurants as well.
Japanese chopsticks have usually been wooden and thus have good grip, but the pointy ends and short length make picking things up without accidentally cutting stuff difficult.
They all have their pros and cons! :) I think the difference in Asian spoons can be an interesting topic, too. Koreans never use those deep soup spoons that I've seen in Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese restaurants, but rather the flat, wide metal spoons.
@@kayaka1141 是吗？我感觉没有什么区别
@@RinLaHarlequin Wow that's a very interesting point of view ! I didn't know Koreans had round metal chopsticks. When would you use the flat ones and when would you use the round ones ? Or is it just about personal preferences ?
I agree, it would be very interesting to compare spoons in Asia, or even spoons from all around the world. I live in France, spoons here are also different from what I saw when I went to Asia, the Vietnamese ones look more like what we have here.

About 7 thousand years ago, the best tableware in the life of Neolithic people in order to deal with meat-eating people was of course knives, but people called this kind of knives on the table "daggers" at that time.
It is conceivable that the smart ancient Chinese first applied the knife to their diet.

This unearthed bronze dagger has two practical functions: one is equivalent to a spoon, and the other is equivalent to a table knife, which can be cut and fished. In fact, in the pre-Qin period, the "dagger" evolved from the knife, and later gradually formed the two functions of the knife and the spoon. After that, it only functions as a spoon.😄🦄🐼
