Abstract(in English) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of chopstick material on the taste of food. The purpose was to find out whether the perceptual evaluation of the food and the overall impression of the meal changed when eating the food with chopsticks made of different materials. In the experiment, we evaluated the taste of tofu and white rice when eating them with chopsticks made of five different materials. The results showed that the material of the chopsticks had an effect on the evaluation of foods and meals in terms of the sense of luxury and discomfort when placed in the mouth. It was also suggested that the thickness and weight of the chopsticks affect the food taste.
