Simple pleasures - train chopsticks

[cteno4]

These always just bring a smile to my face. They are so much fun to use! I've got most of the trains now, more than I need but always fun to pick a pair for a sushi dinner!

Got the ones I don't have on order now! (The maglev and three limited expresses.)

 

That brings the total to, what, 14 different chopstick models?

 For the eva fans, but a bit expensive.

But you get free shipping!

 

I've seen the train chopsticks and lots of other train/shinkansen themes stuff in Japan.  Kind of cool all the different things you can theme.

It is fun, I have 8 different pairs to choose from, quite fun to see what the pleasure will be.

I have quite a couple of these chopsticks and my only complain is that there isn't any ribs on the chopsticks end and it tends to be slippery especially when handling wet foods... dish washing detergents also seems to work against the chopsticks and painting seems to fade after a few months of usage...  other than that, it is surely a cute chopstick to serve and wow the guests with!

They are slicker than wood! But good practice. Not had mine fade yet over a few years but maybe only use 2 or 3 times a weeks over the fleet.

 

i did end up melting the ends of the 700 a bit pulling some tempura out of the toaster oven when warning it up, learned that lesson.
