How many people use chopsticks in Japan?!
Answers: I'm looking for statistics of chopstick use in Japan ONLY, please. Thanks! :)
This site says each person in Japan uses 200 chopsticks per year: http://www.pans.co.jp/english/kaihashi/
And this site says 25 billion used in japan each year, so if you have a general figure used for population of Japan, you could get a rough estimate (although, the lady in the article might throw it off a bit): http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...
Having been over there a couple times, I'd hazard the guess that everyone uses chopsticks.
to catch flys, ive see it on the karate kid movie..awareness..
its called humour...use wikipedia or something similar for the statistics, the whole country of Japan, is not gonna come on here and give you the answer. The answer will already be out there on a website somewhere..maybe..
This question would compare to 'how many people in America use forks' wouldn't it? I'd say over 95 percent..
I hope that helped a bit.
EVERYONE in Japan uses chopsticks at one point in time. Restaurants don't usually have forks...
I don't understand why you'd be asking this question. It's as if you don't know that chopsticks are the main eating utensil in most Asian countries.
After living in Japan for 6 months, I was irritated if I went to a non-Japanese restaurant that didn't have chopsticks. They are used all the time. 100% of Japanese use chopsticks.
Ask a Japanese on the streets of Tokyo!
