This chopstick (A) is just for support, so it does not move. Put this chopstick between your middle and ring fingers. Put the other chopstick (B) between your middle and index fingers, and hold it with your thumb.

Only this chopstick (B) is moved when you pick up food. Open the tips of the chopsticks and try to pick up food with them.

We hope that his information helps you enjoy Japanese food!
