Eugene, Oregon - July 30, 2013
EverythingChopsticks.com, a leading seller of chopsticks in the United States, has added a
new style of Korean stainless steel chopsticks. Korean chopsticks are unusual in America and are unique as they are flat like the handles of western tableware.
The
new chopsticks feature a brushed metal handle with a flower design
embossed. The tips have a polished finish. The chopsticks are 9 inches
long and 1/16 inch thick.
Korean style chopsticks are perhaps the
most unique and unusual of chopsticks. Their flat design and heavier
weight makes them both easier and more difficult to use than typical
Japanese or Chinese style chopsticks. More time and practice is required
to master the use of these chopsticks, which Koreans regard with a
sense of pride.
Korea is known as the polite neighbor of China,
renown for their courtesy and cleanliness. This perhaps explains
Korean's preference for using clean stainless steel for their chopsticks
instead of wood and bamboo of other cultures.
In Korea chopsticks
are paired with a spoon, always placed to the right of the spoon.
Placing the chopsticks to the left is only done at funerals and
memorials. Though acceptable in China, it is considered impolite to lift
a bowl or plate from the table to reduce the distance to one's mouth.
The new
Korean stainless steel chopsticks
with embossed flowers design is available at EverythingChopsticks.com.
They are priced at $1.99 a pair, less when purchased in quantity.
In
addition to these new chopsticks, Everything Chopsticks has over 450
styles of chopsticks from around the world. They also host the world's
largest English language
with articles about the history, etiquette and styles of chopsticks and their manufacture.
