Chopsticks (Waribashi)

When we eat meals at a Japanese restaurant it is common to use chopsticks (Waribashi).
Especially disposable wooden type of chopsticks is popular.
Recently, it is getting popular to use non-disposable chopsticks for environmental protectionism.
Non-disposable type of chopsticks are made of plastics, wood or bamboo.
The surface of chopsticks becomes much slippery than disposable one.
It becomes more difficult to eat noodle or slippery food for foreigners.
