The article does a good job calling out the more serious offenses, although I’d personally argue that nigiribashi is just as bad as the other two. Most Japanese people would probably react with a bit of shock to those.

That said, chopstick etiquette is definitely evolving. Something like chobujubashi isn’t enforced as strictly anymore, especially with more awareness around left-handed users. Kaeshibashi, on the other hand, is becoming more common, and in some social circles, not doing it can actually come across as rude.

I was always under the impression this was the polite thing to do.

i think it depends on the setting, when eating with family at their house they’ve told me not to do it

That one puzzled me, probably makes sense if there are "serving chopsticks":

"""

Jikabashi

To use one’s own chopsticks instead of serving chopsticks to take food from a large serving dish.
