I never thought watching 3 women talk about chopsticks for almost 12 mins would be this interesting. I was stuck and i enjoyed every second

I just found out that korea, japan, and china have their own style of chopsticks. This is very educative and intriguing.

I love how much effort they’re making in explaining cultural differences, it really helps to purify perspectives

As an Indian I never thought there would be much difference between chopsticks 😂. This was very interesting to watch! I love how they're all are shaped differently to suit the cuisines of each culture!

Fun Fact: Korean chopsticks are metal because of the food delivered to the King. When the silver chopsticks or spoon touches the poisoned food chopsticks' color changed. but common people can't use silver they used metal instead that's why Korea uses metal. Also for the cleanliness. Wooden chopsticks and spoons get crack easily so even if you wash them they won't completely disappear.

There are also a different type of Korean chopsticks that are round not flat and made of metal, I think those are a bit easier to use than the flat ones. They even have little ridges on the bottom part to grip the noodles easier.

They did Jane dirty by not giving her appropriate chopsticks 😭 I'll add some thoughts since this comment kinda took off: This was so interesting! I had no idea that chopsticks could be so different between cultures, I thought they were the same everywhere! It also was super interesting to learn about Japanese chopsticks etiquette, I didn't know about it, I'll be careful with my chopsticks if I go to Japan one day 😅

근데 .,,,한국분....젓가락을 제대도 못쥐는 분이시네요😂 젓가락을 제대로 하시는 분이었으면 비교가 더 잘 되었을텐데요,,,

한국인의 젓가락 사용방법이 잘못되었습니다

In Japan probably: "So how was your date?" "Horrible! She kept fumbling the chopsticks...I'm not going on a date with her again!"

I've been studying Japanese for a long time and when Kotaha started speaking I thought I had forgotten everything I learned before I realized they are all speaking Korean 🙃🙃🙃 I had expected them all to speak in their native languages, but it's so cool to hear people speak that fluently in another language. Such a great video, I was super entertained and inspired!

As a Danish person who uses red porridge with cream as chopsticks, I find this very informative and interesting

Im more amazed at how they can all understand each other

As a german person who uses white socks and sandals to eat everything very efficiently, i completely understand

Thank you World Friends for making this video or posting it. The English captions are very helpful. This is a very beautiful video. Understanding others requires communication and sharing of information and life experience. Now I have greater insight about relatives, friends, co-workers and teachers from each of these countries.

I was raised with Japanese chopsticks bc we have a very close friend whomwas like a second mom to me who was from Okinawa. I never knew there was a difference in chopsticks between Asian countries. This was so interesting and I'm really glad I happened upon this video. It now makes sense to me why when I have gotten into cooking more traditional Korean dishes and I have ordered different cooking utensils (have all the ones for Japanese cooking) why there is such a difference in the chopsticks I have received. Now with a better understanding of why some are thicker at the ends vs pointy or narrow..I will begin using them properly now with each different dish. I think I will also look up respectful manners before we travel to each country so as not to offend our hosts. We are planning a trip to Korea & Japan in the near future. While.we've already traveled to China in the past few years. Very interesting video. I learned a lot.

Now I feel stupid because all this time, *I used korean chopsticks while eating in the japanese style* :')

Me, a European who uses forks: Ah yes I understand completely.

I had no idea different countries used different chopsticks! Very interesting!

비교하려면 젓가락질 잘하는사람을 섭외하지...;;

The Chinese girl speaks Korean very fluently. Her intonation and accent is perfect.

As a Namibian who uses chicken feet as chopsticks, I find this very relatable.

As a Hungarian who uses a pair of blood sausages as chopsticks I find this very relatable! 🤣

What I find interesting in this is that despite them all speaking Korean, they seem to retain the cadence and rhythm of their respective native languages.

As a person who is extremely bad at using chopsticks, they all seem extremely hard to use. This was very educational 👍.

한국도 젓가락질 못하면 안좋게 봅니다 아기때부터 젓가락질 교육시키구요 한국도 젓가락질 중요하게 생각합니다

스텐젓가락질을 못하는 사람이 한국대표라니....😢

This was such an interesting intercultural lesson. Would've never learned this anywhere else I think. Im vietnamese and never thought that other country's chopsticks would be dishes. We definitely inherited chopstick shape from China.

As a greek who uses lemon rinds and financial ruin to eat everything, I find this very relatable

출연진 아버님의 세대들은 할아버지 세대들에게 혼나면서 젓가락질을 배웠습니다. 요즘은 시대가 바뀌었는지 젓가락질로 뭐라 하지 않지만, 저 시대에 어른들과 식사할 때 한 소리 들었죠. 당시 저도 젓가락질을 특이하게 했는데 "가정교육의 문제"라는 말들 듣고 바로 바꿨던 기억이 납니다. Cast Father's Generation learned how to use chopsticks by being scolded by grandfather's generation. These days, I don't say anything about chopsticks, but I heard it when I was eating with adults. At that time, I also used chopsticks in a unique way, but I remember that I changed it right after hearing that it was a problem of home education.

This was super fascinating! I love using chopsticks but I had no idea there were different ones. I love that you girls did this and now I want to get one from each country because it’s helpful for different things you eat! I love it!

I use all three. But prefer Chinese chopsticks, the squarish ones, because they are the most versatile. Japanese chopsticks are too short and Korean ones are too flat and slippery

I watched a similar video to this a while ago, and just to add a few more facts: - Korean chopsticks were made of metal as soldiers (I'm not sure which war/era) found it easier to transport and clean than wooden ones, hence why its also flatter than other chopticks so it'd take up less space when moving around. - Japanese chopticks are usually made of wood as it's again easier to take out fish bones, just like the thickness of it matters too. - Historically, Chinese chopsticks were made longer not just because food is placed on a big table and might be further away, but also to be able to put food on the plate of the people you were eating with as solidarity was also shown through communal eating and feeding others. Idk why I remember these facts but I hope someone out there found the extra information useful!!

한국은 김치같은 발효절임 음식들이 많아서 젓가락에 스며들까봐 금속 쓴거라고 들었는데..ㅈ

원래 한국도 집에서 젓가락질 교육 다 시켰는데...

Me a Mexican that uses sombreros to eat everything: ah yes, relatable

Well my dreams of going to Japan are shattered- don't wanna offend someone and their 14 generations with my terrible chopstick skills I'm trying to learn tho

I really enjoyed watching you talk and show the differences in each chop stick use. I’ve used all three but Korea’s is more difficult for me. I like the rudiments of the Japanese table rules but I like the long Chinese sticks because I find the Japanese ones too short at times. However, I thank you all three for presenting the differences I really learned something. Also your all most lovely. Stay safe and healthy.

Such a cool video! Thanks for teaching and having fun!

Me, a brazilian who kicks The food to eat everything:"yep, very relatable..."

me, a Dutch person who uses wooden clogs to eat everything: ah yes i completely understand

I love how relatable the Korean woman is. Lol she's adorable.

As an American who uses crispy bacon as chopsticks, I find this very relatable.

As an Irish man who distils and drinks everything I eat. I found this very relatable.

Facts: Korean chopsticks is flat because in ancient Korean Dynasties, the servant in the palace find it hard to carry the food along with the chopsticks (which was round back in the days) because their tray has no wall sides to stop the chopsticks from falling down, so they improvised the chopsticks and make it flat so it won't fall off anymore.

Trying different types of Chopsticks speaks character of every nation, it communicates in many ways, since it is also treated by many as fine art in dining experience. The Authentic the chopsticks are, the better.

As an outlaw from the 19s I found the background piano so relatable. Thanks!

Im glad many people are finding this video educational! Im still a little sad Jane wasn't given the traditional Chinese chopsticks, but nonetheless, she did a great job explaining and it's nice knowing people are learning about the differences in the chopstick styles and other cultural topics from this channel :)

For me personally, Korean metal chopstick is the hardest. The fact that it's flat and veeery slippery 😅 But it's fun to use it just to challenge myself 😂 I'm more used to Japanese and Chinese ones.

적어도 문화 비교 컨텐츠면 제대로 된 사용법을 아는 출연진이 나왔어야 하지 않았을까... 기성세대는 엄청 중요하게 생각하는 요소고 젊은 세대에서조차 반반으로 의견 나뉘는 사항인데 이렇게 영상에 보여지면 한국은 젓가락질 방법을 중요하게 생각안하는구나 생각할거 같아요 댓글보면 죄다 외국인들인데... 이럴거면 애초에 영상 안만드는게 날 정도라고 생각하네요

As a French person who uses baguettes to eat everything, I find this very relatable

I’m Singaporean Chinese and the korean flat metal chopsticks was really difficult for me at first too! During my first meal in Korea, I couldn’t pick anything up that my korean colleague even asked me if I knew how to use chopsticks and offered me a fork instead 😂

이런 컨텐츠 좋은거 같아요. 서로 우리꺼가 제일 좋다고 싸우는게 아니라 각나라별 젓가락의 장단점을 상황별로 비교하니 싸울 일이 아니라 서로 환경에 맞게 발달한거란걸 이해 할수 있어서 좋은거 같아요.

I totally needed this video, thanks youtube algorithm you are so smart

As a Dutch person who uses bicycles to eat everything, I completely understand.

As a mexican picking everything up with a tortilla i found this relatable🥰

쇠젓가락으로도 묵, 깻잎 정돈 잘 집을 수 있어요. 각국의 젓가락 문화를 소개하려거든 제대로된 사용법부터 배우고 와야할 듯. 일본분이 제대로 배우셨네.

As an American 🇺🇸 I use a Fork 🍴

As a Jamaican person who uses locs and bob Marley's albums to eat I find this very relatable

한국은 원래국수인데.. 라면은 일본이고.. 한국여자분이 전형적인 젓가락질을 잘못하는 손모양 입니다. 중국과 일본은 식문화가 많이 비슷합니다. 두나라는 밥공기를 들고 젓가락으로 긇어서 입으로 밀어넣습니다.. 그여반해 한국은 밥그릇을 들지않습니다..숫가락과 젓가락을 번갈아 사용하며 편리한곳에 씁니다.. 일본과 중국의 숫가락은 주로 국물을 먹기위한것이지만. 한국의 순가락은 밥과 건더기와 국물을 다먹도록 고대과학으로 설계된것입니다. 한국의 숫가락은 이세계에서 가장 아름다운 식사도구입니다.. 누룽지를 긇어 먹거나.. 병따개로도 훌륭합니다.그리고 한입에 쏙들어가는 장점도 있습니다..국물을 떠먹을때는 균형감각을 키워줍니다.

I've always been fascinated with Asian cultures. I leaned how to use chopsticks in second grade from an Asian American author (Yoko Kawashima Watkins) that came to our school as pert of her book tour she brought sushi and chopsticks for the whole class and talked about her autobiography it was really cool.

As an European, I didn't even think about how the metal chopsticks are heavy because I always eat with metal fork/knife/spoon.
