Are you looking for chopsticks? Something nicer or more special than
simple chopsticks found at department stores? Where is the best place to
buy chopsticks?
Asian Specialty Stores
If you happen to
have an Asian grocery or specialty store in your community they likely
have an assortment of everyday chopsticks in an assortment of styles.
These are likely inexpensive and it may be difficult to build a set of
matching chopsticks, but you may find something that you like. But you
generally won't find more finely crafted chopsticks or chopsticks from a
variety of cultures, materials or qualities.
Amazon.com
Amazon
has an enormous selection of chopsticks from hundreds of tiny vendors.
Like specialty Asian stores, the offerings are generally for lower
priced everyday chopsticks. For any one style you may find many vendors
competing on price for your purchase. However we've found that shipping
prices on Amazon tend to be expensive, perhaps to help the vendor make
up for Amazon's 15% cut of the total sale.
Specialty Online Retailers
Here
is where you will find the greatest selection of not only everyday
chopsticks but fine chopsticks from around the world. Each culture has
their own styles of chopsticks and materials used to make chopsticks.
Korean chopsticks are very different than Japanese chopsticks, which are
very different than Chinese chopsticks, etc. Specialty online retailers
can specialize in a narrow product line because they aren't dependent
on shoppers from their local geographic area. Therefore they can carry a
very broad selection of wonderful chopsticks of all quality levels.
EverythingChopsticks.com
One of the oldest and best online specialty chopstick retailers is
EverythingChopsticks.com.
They've been providing one of the largest selections of quality
chopsticks from around the world since 2005. There you will find
chopsticks of every color, pattern and material ranging from the
inexpensive everyday chopsticks to truly exquisite chopsticks
handcrafted in Japan, China, United States and other countries in Asia.
They have the largest selection of personalized chopsticks which make
excellent gifts for special occasions.
Naturally we are a little biased as we are Everything Chopsticks. We hand-select the best pairs for our store.
There are certainly several other great online stores as well. However
we hope you'll find our store to be a rich source of chopsticks for your
every need.
