Publisher's Summary

Chopsticks are indispensable cutlery items when it comes to Japanese cuisine. They are used not only for eating, but also for cooking.

箸は、日本食には欠かせない食器の一つ。料理を食べる時だけでなく、調理する時にも使います。
日本の家庭では、家族のそれぞれが自分専用の箸を持っているのが普通です。
日本では子どもの時から箸を使いますが、正しい使い方を覚えないまま大人になってしまった人も、たまに見られます。
また、箸には、使い方に関していくつかのタブーがあります。箸を食べ物に突き刺すこと、一度箸で取った料理を皿に戻すことなどは、絶対にしてはいけません。
日本人は手先が器用だといわれるのは、箸を使う民族だからとする説もあるようです。
中国や東南アジアの国々でも箸を使う習慣はありますが、間伐材を利用した割り箸は日本独特の文化です。
