4.0 out of 5 stars Get past the bitter to find the sweet, November 26, 2004

I've bought two pairs of these chopsticks, and they are really great for when you find yourself in a restaurant with the really cheap disposable chopsticks. You know, the ones that can make the inside of your lips raw, no matter how much you scrape the chopsticks against each other in a vain effort to sand them down a bit.

They come with a small carrying pouch, which also serves well as a chopstick rest. BUT for the first few uses, I found that my food was getting a bitter flavor from the raw wood, or the finish, or something. Fortunately, I persevered, and now that my chopsticks have been "seasoned" through use, I enjoy using them without any unpleasant side-effects.

When I gave a second pair as a gift, I tried sanding them and wiping them with cooking oil, in an effort to avoid the initial bitter flavoring; unfortunately, only actual use seems to remove the taste.

Also good for the envirionmentally-conscious, who aren't interested in using trees for making disposable chopsticks.

I travel a lot. I routinely carry a number of key items in my kit. The Snow Peak Chopsticks has become a part of that kit. They are light, take up very little room, work very well and are easy to clean. I find them perfect for travel and have not raised an eyebrow in a number of security checks along the eastern seaboard.

I must admit I grimaced about the gift request for this item thinking "they're just chopsticks!" I was so pleasantly surprised (as was the recipient!). The chopsticks are beautiful, well balanced, fabulous to use, sturdy. The case is cool too. If you have a serious sushi fan or chopstick lover don't hesitate one more moment!
