We had a great time making our own personalised chopsticks. A perfect souvenir to our trip to South Korea 😍
This was so much fun, and I’m so glad I found this activity. I made a pair for myself and my husband, and they engraved both our English and Korean names on them. It was easy and fun.
If you have a chance to request a guide for this experience, I would 100% request. Matt, he is awesome!

We loved being taught to make our own personalized chopsticks. The instructor explained in detail the types of wood and gave great instructions. I am pround of the finished product. I would recommend anyone visiting South Korea to take this tour.

We are so happy to hear that you liked it. Thank you for your recommendation!
This is very cool - and we're so glad we did it. We would recommend it to others. It was fun, but I would say, it also felt a bit like a factory. We went on a very busy Saturday afternoon and maybe that was the issue. A less busy time might be less frenetic. When we went, it was packed. Our group arrived on time but it was so busy, they ended up starting us a little late. Then when my husband made a mistake and one of his chopsticks had to be redone - the teacher said there wasn't time and so he made it himself - while also lecturing my poor husband on his mistake. We laughed it off. We're teachers too, and this poor man was clearly stressed. We asked why my husband couldn't do it himself and the teacher said it's because we're running out of time. That makes sense - and promptly on the hour, the next group was ready to start! it was nice that they gave him a second chunk of wood for free. We appreciated that. All in all, we loved the experience, love our chopsticks, and giggle at the clever factory set up they have going.
Really loved this experience. I was able to make two pairs of custom chopsticks. I even got them personalized by having my name engraved in Korean. Lee was super attentive and helpful. Especially considering I chose the Ziricote to make my chopsticks with. He warned me it may be hard but the end result was worth it. A nice souvenir for my bday trip Seoul.

When you arrive you pick your wood, there are a couple included in the price or you can upgrade to a more expensive tree. When you are finished, you can also get a word(s) engraved for an additional fee, well worth it!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the experience and love your new chopsticks. They truly make the perfect keepsake to remember your trip by! Wishing you safe travels back home, and I hope they bring back fond memories every time you use them.
This was a wonderful experience. The fee includes the basic wood for chopsticks. Upgraded wood available for minimal fee. The engraving was extra, but not a lot. I could’ve stayed for several classes to make more gifts to take home. Easy directions to follow. The owner is the teacher and is easy to converse with.
