While it may seem easier at first to hold the chopsticks near their tips, holding them further back means that they are closer to parallel, which helps to scoop food (like rice) from below. The chopsticks are available in six different classic colors so you’re free to mix and match as you want. Transferring food between chopsticks resembles a certain Japanese funeral ritual, and so it’s generally not a welcome sight at the dinner table. If there’s no chopstick rest, place your chopsticks across the ridges of your plate or bowl, or rest them on a napkin or a wrapper.
