Hi everyone!
For my theme, I will
be focusing on Japanese cuisine, so I'm going to give you some tips on manners
and social interactions while dining in Japan.
DO finish your rice.
It is considered polite.
DON'T blow your nose
at the table.
DO slurp your
noodles. It is a sign that you enjoyed your meal.
DON'T use too much wasabi. You will implode. (Not really, but
you'll definitely regret it.)
DO use your fingers
while eating sushi, as well as chopsticks. Just make that decision based on the dining setting.
DON'T fill up the shoyu (soy sauce) bowl too full. That's
considered wasteful.
DO eat the whole sushi in one bite. If you try to bite it in
half delicately, you will fail miserably.
DON'T be too boisterous while in a restaurant. Japanese restaurants tend to be quieter than American dining establishments.
I hope my tips were helpful! Remember, dining behavior creates just as large an impression as speaking or interacting with others.
Mata
ne, (See you again!)
