Chopsticks

Found in Japanese restaurants everywhere, chopsticks (ohashi) seem to make your Japanese food taste better and more authentic. They come in many materials—bamboo and other wood, plastic, metal—and styles and in a range of prices, with prized hinoki-wood chopsticks at the top of the pile. Chopsticks in any style will accomplish their main task of ferrying your delicious cooking from bowl to mouth. Waribashi (disposable wooden chopsticks) are inexpensive and can be bought by the pack.
