]]> Chopsticks are a must for eating in many East Asian countries. Instead of using traditional western dining instruments like forks and knives, chopsticks are the utensils used for the consumption of virtually all foods.

Check out the countries which rely on chopsticks for eating, and what makes their versions unique.

Japan

Japanese chopsticks are long and have a pointed end. They are traditionally made with wood or bamboo, and often feature beautiful engraved Kanji writing. They are a must for dishes like ramen and sushi.

China

In China, chopsticks are especially long and wide and have larger tips that make it easier to pick up food with them. Wood and metal are often used, but materials can vary. Chinese chopsticks are often considered the easiest to use.

Korea

Korean chopsticks are especially striking because they are traditionally made with silver, brass, or other metals. They have a flat shape, and in contrast with most other countries, are not traditionally used for the consumption of rice.

Vietnam

The wood and bamboo used to make Vietnamese chopsticks are typically lacquered, giving them a shiny appearance. Similar in shape and size to Chinese chopsticks, they are often elaborately decorated.

[ 📸: @cruwinelimited ] ”Intensity and clarity of fruit is so insane. Blackberries, spices such as cloves, blueberries, sandalwood and dried lavender. Full body and such a beautiful, dense center palate with perfectly polished tannins. Extremely long and beautiful. One of the best young Montroses in a long, long time.”—James Suckling. Today we are pleased to offer several bottles of the incredible 98-point 2015 Château Montrose as well as a few bottlings from 2000, 2003, 2010, and 2014.
