Common sense of Japanese table manners and matters needing attention in Japanese dining

1. When eating in a restaurant, usually the elders or guests go first, and then the host.

Japanese should put a low table when eating, then the man sits cross-legged on the ground and the woman kneels to eat. Eat with pointed chopsticks when eating.

3. Express two feelings loudly before and after eating, and say "Itadakimasu" before eating (I'm going to start eating); Saying "go-chiso-samadeshita" after dinner is just like saying "cheers" before drinking.

Traditional Japanese food is divided into several small plates. When eating, you should eat each dish in order, not the same dish.

When eating noodles, the Japanese take a sip of noodles directly from the soup bowl and make a sound, which means that the pasta is delicious and it is also a way to appreciate the chef. When eating sushi, I used to dip it in soy sauce with my bare hands and put it directly in my mouth. I can't eat sushi with chopsticks. When you drink it, you will make a loud snoring, which means it is delicious.

6. When sharing the same dish, put the dish you need on your own plate before eating.

7. When eating or drinking soup, it is customary to pick up the bowl to prevent food from falling.

8. It is impolite to pour wine for yourself while eating, but if you want to pour wine for others, others will pour wine for you.

9. If you don't know how to drink, but when everyone cheers, you should also gently taste a drop or two of wine to show respect for others. If you don't want to drink any more, fill your glass. When someone pours you wine, you can also cover the glass mouth with your hand to show that it is enough.

Please cover your mouth with your hand when you pick your teeth.

It is impolite to eat and drink in the street.

12. There is no custom of "do it yourself" in Japan. When you are a guest in someone else's house, you'd better wait for the host to bring you food. If you are the host, you should always pay attention to the needs of the guests (such as adding cream, sugar, napkins and so on).

When using chopsticks, we should pay attention to eight taboos (licking chopsticks, confusing chopsticks, moving chopsticks, twisting chopsticks, inserting chopsticks, pulling chopsticks, crossing chopsticks and picking chopsticks), such as: don't put chopsticks horizontally on the dish or insert them in a bowl full of rice; At the same time, don't point at others with chopsticks (this action implies that the other person is leaving).
