My Hashi Movement

I've noticed that a lot of ppl in Japan carry their own chopsticks. Known as the "My Hashi" movement, there has been a recent popularity in using your own hashi when eating out. We went to an izakaya, and one of my friends pulled out hers. I'm going to a ramen festival this Saturday, and they are requiring you to bring your own. Our cafeteria even has plastic chopsticks instead of bamboo.

You can find plastic or wood hashi, and they usually come in a cloth carrying case.
