Easier to eat sticky rice (like in Japan) with chopsticks than a spoon, and cultures that don’t make sticky rice (China, Korea) don’t eat rice with chopsticks.
Actually I know Korea uses a spoon and I think China does for fried rice but if they have a bowl of white rice they might use chopsticks because it’s culturally acceptable to pick up the bowl and just kind of push it into your mouth.
I’ll have to take your word for it. I’ve been to Korea a few times but I can’t quite remember what other people were using for their rice in restaurants. I know they at least use it for stuff like bibimbap, and I’ve seen a couple Koreans say they use spoons for just rice on yt

Good luck eating Thai sticky rice with chopsticks though 😂
They do eat sticky rice in Korea and eat them with (metal) chop sticks. I’ve never seen any family or restaurant serving non-stick rice.
