Does the length of the chopsticks make a difference?
In fact, there is a length that is considered to be the most beautiful and comfortable to hold when holding chopsticks. The average woman uses chopsticks that are 22.5cm long, but depending on the size of your hand and the length of your fingers, chopsticks that are roughly 21cm to 23cm long are said to be the most comfortable.
Holding chopsticks gracefully leaves a good impression, so this is a must-see for anyone looking to buy new chopsticks!!
21cm chopsticks
Of course, the length of chopsticks that suits you will vary depending on the size of your hand and the length of your fingers, but generally the size that suits you is called "
hitoatahan ", which is the size measured by extending your thumb and index finger in a straight line at a right angle (hitoata) x 1.5. If you want to know more about chopstick lengths,

Using chopsticks that suit you will prevent your hands from getting tired!
Some people may be able to finish their meal quickly, but it still takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Even though it only takes that long to eat, have you ever felt tired holding your chopsticks? While the shape and weight play a part, using chopsticks the right size for you will prevent the tips from moving around unnecessarily, allowing you to grip the tips firmly. This will make it easier to hold foods that are difficult to hold, like beans and stews, and will help prevent your hands from getting tired!
22.5cm chopsticks (average size)
Chopstick shapes also come in a variety of shapes, from round chopsticks that are easy to grip, to triangular chopsticks that have corners that fit your fingers well, to octagonal chopsticks and carved chopsticks, so we hope you can choose the chopsticks that suit you!
23cm chopsticks
At 23cm, they are a little large for those with smaller hands, but they are called "octagonal chopsticks" and "corrective chopsticks" because they have sharp corners on the handles. Corrective chopsticks, as the name suggests, are "training chopsticks" that will correct the way you hold your chopsticks. They are recommended for those who have had a particular way of holding chopsticks since childhood, or for those who want to correct their chopstick grip but find it difficult to hold them consciously!
