But the feeling for it came up quickly, because the center of gravity of the chopsticks Balance between the fingers is easy to find and the food is almost as easy to pick up thanks to the roughened surface effortless. Failing that, the rice was harder to grab. Therefore the product is suitable only conditionally for chopstick beginners. In other words, the new coordination that needs to be learned, together with the slightly heavier weight of the chopsticks, could lead to difficulties.
The enclosed instructions explain how to use it understandable with the help of pictures, but there is no English or multilingual version. The one linked in it E-book with sushi recipes represents a nice addition that the product as a gift optimally rounded off.
The chemical scent the gift box may unsettle you. However, they are required food safety certificates for all product components and the Chopsticks smell neutral. Cleaning is effortless by hand or in the dishwasher. How this behaves in practice would have to be determined in a long-term test. After the first dishwasher cycle, the product was still in its original condition.
