If you're sure that it is made in Japan.. and not MIC Japanese brand...........
I would suspect chopsticks from japan is better. But if say you makan at restaurant, how do you tell where are they from?
I went to this Japanese restaurant at Tampines, they use disposable chopsticks. it seems more solid and better design then hawker center takeaway ones.. But.... it looked almost exactly like the one shown in part of the video!!!!
Anyone got any tips how to differentiate Japan and China ones?
sidenote: Nowadays, the Japanese companies are always talking about cutting costs etc......
