I love sushi. My only regret is the 1000's of trees cut down to make those requisite splintery chopsticks necessary to enjoy Japanese cuisine. Finally, I can guiltlessly poison myself with mercury without harming a singe wood friend! Below please instructions and a guide on how to make and use your own Eco-friendly Chopsticks.
MAKING THE CHOPSTICKS
1: Place pinky and ring finger against the palm of your hand.2: Press thumb firmly over pinky and ring finger.
3: Extend index and middle finger (fingers should be touching).
USING THE CHOPSTICKS
1: Gently brush your index and middle finger together (to get rid of any debris that may be on your "sticks").
2: Separate the index and middle finger into a V shape.
3: Approaching the sushi plate from a skyward angle, place V shaped fingers on sides of sushi piece (imagine a sushi Tee Pee).
4: Clamp fingers around sushi.
5: Lift sushi.
6: Dip in soy sauce (optional) and place in mouth.
CAUTION:
Remember. Japanese etiquette dictates that when not using your chopsticks you should rest your "sticks" on the soy sauce bowl or plate. NEVER put your Eco-chopsticks on the table, your lap, or god forbid your napkin.
Congratulations, you are now prepared to save mother earth and look extremely cool the next time you go out for sushi. Best wishes and どういたしまして (You're Welcome).
