Chopsticks 101 - How To Master Using Them
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2016
- Holding and using chopsticks may seem very difficult for many but we hope to help each and every one of you who have had some difficulty using them in the past.
For starters, remember that the way you hold them is in a relaxed state; the only time there's pressure is when you surround the chopsticks around the item to grab and it is at that moment that you actually bring the fingers together and grab the item. It's actually very simply once you get the hang of it.
Now if you've been using chopsticks for a while, try grabbing some uncooked rice and see how fast you can transfer each grain, from one plate to another. Let us know how awesome you are at using them in the comment section below.

I love you two to be honest it feels like you two bring life into the kitchen every video I love it and keep up the great work Hiro and cameraman:D
Has Hiro ever checked you off camera? Telling you something like "Look, quit laughing at my style of greeting the people. If I want to say good afternoon, I'm gonna say good afternoon." Anything like that?
+Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef do you know where I can find the sushi rollers
+Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef oh OK thank you I'll buy one and ill try to make my own sushi
Love the greeting! I definitely need to practice my chopstick skills, that was some professional grade there.
thank you for always making my day
Some people really struggle with this.
I found emphasizing the fact that the bottom stick doesn't really move around much, and to just hold it firm - that usually get it to "click" with some people.
I do know how to use chopsticks, very well!
Good video!!! Two Thumbs Up!
thanks! this was just what i was looking for
Haha "can you catch flies!" Too funny Charlie. Keep it up guys!
Thanks Hiroyuki!
Hiro is always a good sport :D
finally... ive been looking for this technique for over 1000 years
I love how Hiro dgaf how he is "supposed" to say the intro. Keep rockin Hiro! I love you!
great teaching.
thanks
Thank you for your content... It really helped
Nice Thanks M going to try it out and let's see if I manage to 'master' the art like master Hiro 😜
Thanks for an informative video.
I'm watching this even I do know how to use chopsticks ~ nice video!
Excelent...no dude...nice ! !!. .saludos desde Merida yucatan. México
I'm coming to Miami next week from Oklahoma. Hopefully I can stop by!!!!! I've been dying to try your food!!!!
Good luck to all you new chopstick. High fives to everyone who already knows how to use them! 🖐🖐
Damn I can’t use it
✋✋✋ just wanna know how to get more dexterity and holding power and picking up smaller shit
I was able to get it down on my third try.still need to practice tho
hahah this is awesome. will be sharing with my coworkers who can't use chopsticks properly!
Thanks for great demonstration. Learning how to use chopsticks was on my Bucket List but after many fails I settled to accept the child’s chopsticks given at P. F. Chang, lol! I’ll give it another try.
Good to know that I use them just like Hiro. Lol now I can stop feeling self conscious.
Lmao man I love Hiro he's funny and too cool I would kill to meet him lol
Thank you so much. Could you also show us the deference between the chopsticks? What I have heard is that there are many different chopstick with different purpose for every chopstick.
Thank you again! Great video as usual.
I would love to see a video where Hiro does something with a sea urchin if he hasn't already :D those always look really cool!
Yezzzzzz I was need so Mach thx darling ❤️🤗
I learned how to use chopsticks because of naruto, all the ramen looked tasty so if you buy a lot of ramen you get used to chopsticks and I taught my self
I wanna find a place where they have ramen like Naruto would have 😭
big cities usually have a ramen restaurant or two
Orange ninjas simply are not logical....
[ Another awesome video! It always makes my day to check my TH-cam and see another great video from you guys, and I'm glad that I saw this one now because I never knew how to use chopsticks! :-0 Keep up the good work guys, always. And don't worry Hiro, one day your 'How are you?'s will be more natural, Lol! ❤ ]
i love his greeting. down to business kinda guy
Japanese culture, a wonderful world, thanks Mr Terada-san
Thank you. ☺
The most simple way I've seen to eat with Chop Sticks.
Good vid here Hiro and if im not mistaken the camera mans name I "heard" in another video Charlie yet again showing viewers how to do something most dont (like myself) Thank you :P
Being a chinese guy I've been using chopsticks as long as I could remember probably when I was 4 or 5. But I never really got taught how to use an chopstick I just gradually knew how to use it by using it or watching other family members use it. I use mine differently I use my thumb and pointing finger to hold one while the other rests on myiddle finger.
Awesome :D I love eating Sushi - I think im doing it right but I would love to see a Sushi etiquette video from you.. like how to pick it up and dip it in the sauce.. I was eating sushi ready prepared last week and it suggested dipping the sushi face side down into the sauce, but I could not master exactly how to do it without having to pick it up twice
I read somewhere that sushi should be eaten with bare hands.
Cool. I will be using chopsticks this afternoon during dinner. I'll practice using the rice technique Master Hiro demonstrated until I master them. The chef at a local Japanese restaurant gave me a pair of chopsticks that had a folded piece of paper secured with a rubber band at the top end and those are easy to use. I need to practice more with the loose pair I have because I'm determined to master them. Wish me luck. I'm getting hungry again:) LOL
***** I practice daily and I will master them.
though the whole video is about chopsticks, u still made me so hungry lol
THANK YOU!!!! my skill are horrible thanks for being helpful
cameraman: "Hiro, how are you?"
Hiro: "How are you?"
lol
🤣🤣
Pro chef
The rolls you used to demonstrate looked really good, what was it? Some veggies in it, I LOVE veg in sushi, most people seem to hate it.
Great😛
Pleasantly surprised to find out (after getting the urge to "get better" at using them) that I, as an American, am better than most of the world at using chopsticks. I eat most of my meals with chopsticks. I can move grains of rice like a Mfer. And it's now clicking why my coworkers all smile whenever I eat lunch in meetings lol. In the bottom of a cup of ramen noodles, I don't drink the leftover vegetables with the broth, I pick each piece of corn and carrot up one by one with my chopsticks. I do this probably several times a week lol
Is it only me that I'm having trouble with the chopsticks because it keeps slipping of of my ring finger
keep your thumb straight when you move and hold the chopsricks
I have the same issue. I can make it fixed if I press on it really hard with my thumb, but that hurts after a very short while...
Use a spoon!
Haha if you ever get the chance of filming Hiro while he catches a fly with chopsticks, don't let it fly by,
Where can I get left-handed chopsticks?
Just kidding. Thanks for lesson ;)
Hiro San ❤️🔥
I can use them but want to be better! Thank you!
Hey chef, there are different ways to take them? Or this is the only one?
Arigatou, sensei.
haha nice video guys
I never understood why some people have so much trouble with using chopsticks.
I remember when I learnt to use them, I was in Japan on a school trip, where we stayed with a family for two weeks. I went to the school, sat down and watched how they used them and just picked up how to use them instantly. Many years later, I can still just pick them up and go. Not that I use chopsticks regularly, maybe once every two years at some Cantonese restaurant.
I think people have a bad habit of just saying, "Oh this is hard" or "I can't do it".
Positive mindset is what lets you get things done :)
I'm just bored and decided to learn to use chopsticks, I'm not too good at it :( The bottom chopstick keeps sliding
yeah me too, I don't know what to do
Meghan Mccutcheon me too how to stop that
keep your thumb straight
... Hiro.... How are you? -
H. - How are you?! XD
Ofc Thumb up!!
But also, when I first time came to the Japanese restaurant and took the Chopsticks, I began to eat with them, like as if eating whole life with them.
What is the best quality chopstick? Wood or plastic?
Hiro should go to school to learn how to prepare fugu, that's so unique that if he were to learn how ;Nove would be packed!
+Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef oh I see, I suppose that is for the best. I still think it's a delicacy. If literally maggot cheese is legal in the FDA I think a puffer should be. BTW I love the channel!
for home, do you recommend disposal chopsticks? if not, what type for home?
Just buy some nice chopsticks, Asian grocery stores or online at places like bento&co
Can you guys make a chicken teriyaki roll please
I love chopsticks i use them all the time! But eventually my hand cramps up. How to prevent this?
Hello, I've heard when taking food from a plate to your plate, I should use the other end of my chopstick, is this right?
I guess so if its raw, because you dont want the raw food mixing with the already cooked food so you use the other end of the chopsticks
Have a guess guys. How much time does it take out of your day to reply to comments? Because you do a great job at it!
+Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef no estimate? :)
***** Amazing :D You guys are just too awesome!
I have a question for chef Hiro. Do you ever get sick of sushi being around it all day long? Or do you still like to eat it?
finally i won't have to use a fork everytime i eat sushi haha
hello hiro
i watched some of yiu recent lobster videos and i just wanna know how much do they cost
like by pound if 1 then how much if 2 then how much
like that
and thank you
1 Med lobster (1.75 - 2.25 lbs) = ~ $30.

+alex beckley thnx dude
i work in seafood, right next to the AFC sushi guys. i get their samples before they leave :)
will it sushi? cereal
Man some things I can do others are impossible. Like steamed dumplings I can't get the grip strength to keep them from falling out of the chopsticks
I can't do it this way... my middle finger gets in the way or directs it the wrong way if it's under the top chopstick. I have to plant it on top of the bottom chopstick to get the tips to meet.
Can you make a video of hadeling sushi rice without gloves, I'm trying to get used to not using gloves without the rice sticking to my hand alot
Try dampening your hands with some water before touching the rice! A bowl of water nearby you will help, or a moist towel.
I've not lived.. never used chopsticks in my life! i need to get out more.
I swear I was just thinking to myself "I wonder if he can catch a fly." then you asked him. LoL. Gmta right? See you next time. :-)
all my relatives think I'm retarded because of the way I hold the chopsticks... maybe now I'll learn how to use it Hahahah
would hiro be willing to serve omakase?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What type of chopsticks can I cook with? Wooden chopsticks?
Seems easy but as soon as I do it myself. Dang, it's really hard af.
👍
I'm Asian, but I was adopted when I was 2 to Caucasians.
I had to teach myself how to use chop sticks.
I knew I mastered them when I used them to pick up another set of chop sticks and handed them to my friend.
😁
Hiro!!!! Genki?
I was right!
Oh god now my mom gonna beat me with chopstick
"Basically, how da...use chopsticks..." He already looks uncomfortable, then our cameraman uses sloppy English to describe the purpose of this video. Awesome.
Yes I"m glad you guys can do this, cause even some asians don't know how to use chopstick properly. lol
Okay, wow.
haunter Pr1me true story lol
haunter Pr1me its not racist...its a culture thing...I'm talking about asians that lives in asian countries like China, Japan, etc
haunter Pr1me haha its cool dude, its the internet after all
Okay wow.
I always put one against my middle finger instead and my index finger holds the one that moves, for me my ring finger is too far back and when I try the correct way like here the chopsticks always make a lopsided X and I can never hold food that way, and it hurts my fingers. XD
Thank u.me myself I never know how to use chopsticks.
+Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef thank u for the lesson
my finger like getting cramp..its like giving a pressure at my mid fingger tu hold it ..how to make it become less pressure on it XD
lol I'm pretty good with chopsticks I know I don't always hold them right but I can pick up rice lol
I like the claw technique, my way works so much better
I always had my ring and middle finger on the chopstick, never on top ot under
Do u have to use ur right hand to use chopsticks
Obviously not.
use both☺
some people use their noses
Just let him say good afternoon. Pleez.
beat video on chopsticks -
don't your hands get sore when using chopsticks? mines do.
I must be a lost cause, 'cause no matter what I do, the bottom chop stick slides up my ring finger and the chop sticks will not meet at a single point but instead cross... Tried for weeks, time to give up. I am using round Japanese chop stick, but same happens, to a lesser degree, with square Chinese chop sticks as well. The only way I get to be somehow proficient is by using thumb and first two fingers where i hold the bottom stick by pushing with my index and handling the top stick with the major and the thumb, but any heavier food will fall.
It doesn't rest on the fourth finger thoughhhhhh... It keeps slipping back ☹️
我不是中国人，我爱筷子 !
do deserts, mix it up.
My hand just don't move like that 😂
