日本語の文化：Japanese Eating Manners!
Alongside knowing what typical Japanese-style meals are like, it's good to know what is considered "good" table manners when eating out or in a host-family's house in Japan.
Here are a few pointers when eating in ホーストファムリのうち or 日本語のレストラン：
- Remember, it is custom for Japanese people to say いただきます(I humbly receive) before a meal and ごちそうさでした (It was a feast) as signs of respect.
- Wipe your hands and face with a steaming hot towel おしばり。
- Don't stick your chopsticks up in the air!
- Don't hold the same piece of food with another person
- Slurp your noodles :)
Here's a video that shows these mannerisms in more detail!
