The first time I used chopsticks was to eat Hiroshima style Okonomi. I had a horrible time and made a bit of a mess. Even now I have problems breaking it up into smaller pieces and usually end up with a few bites where the layers have seperated and are more like seperate items or end up in my lap. It bothers me because I watch my wife and cuts and handles it so easily, yet I have better control of my chopsticks for really small things like grains of rice or beans.
