I'm American, we grew up with no elbows on tables, no scraping plates with forks, slirping, or improper table talk. I think table etiquette is so important. Love this video.
How awesome is it that "itadakimasu", which means "I am about to eat" is shorthand for "...and I know how fortunate I am to have this meal, so I want to show respect and gratitude to all of those who worked to make it available to me"?
2:22 looks yummy especially because I'm sick in pneumonia and don't have appetite and are starving at the same while not having energy or strength to eat or cook my own meals
I wanted to make sure i did nothing wrong after my first experience in a japanese restaurant today, apparently i satisfied all the basics. That was good to learn. Thanks:)
Informative but a little confusing with the food setup. In the correct version, the rice is on the left and it is shown to be incorrect if the rice is in the middle. However, for the rest of the video, the rice is in the middle. Personally, I think the rice being in the middle makes the most sense. Can it be moved to the middle once the rice is served? Can someone clarify this?
I know that it’s okay to slurp your ramen, the louder the better is what I’ve heard, but I find it funny that you should eat quietly except for the slurping. Which with other cultures that would be rude. I remember my brother getting wacked for slurping his soup at the table.
Asian cultures have a lot to learn from Western restaurants what it comes to table manners. Asian cultures are rude and controlling. I have never eaten in Asian restaurants by these rules. Additionally, chopsticks are not as effective as fork, knife and spoon. If I am the paying customer, I use which tableware I want. If they are not available, I go where they are.
For some reason, rice on the left and soup on the right makes me so uncomfortable! Maybe it's because of left-to-right reading bias but because in Filipino culture, rice is more important, so my brain says it should go on the left.
I've broken at least 5 of the rules :) Japanese love creating rules:) Do you get mad at the people who don't follow them? Are your hearts clear ?? :) I love Japan.
@@simplejapanesefoodGood to hear! I always worry about not to do something stupid or offensive when I am in Japan. Just so many things there are near perfect😀
1:50 I'm surprised by slurping. You can slurp but, you have to eat quietly with your mouth closed. Makes no sense. It actually drives me crazy when people make any noise while eating especially slurping and when people lick their fingers and make snapping noises. I like the towel idea, maybe my fellow fat gross Americans can use that to wipe the bbq sauce off their fingers rather than licking them.

Thankyou so much! :)
American table „etiquette“ 😂
It is interesting to see how there are quite a few things that are considered polite in American etiquette that are opposite in Japanese etiquette.
Thanks for the comment😊
So interesting. Thank you for sharing this.
@@EtiquetteMaven thankyou for watching my video:)
It's very curious to see how many good practices and rules are in day-to-day tasks.
Japanese is so much respectful culture.
Thanks for the video.
This video is informative and very funny
Thankyou for the comments !
I plan on moving to Japan in the future and couldn't find a comprehensive video on Japanese table manners. This video was perfect, ありがとうございます！
You don't have to follow all of these rules. So don't worry, enjoy your meal when you come to Japan (・ ∀ ・) Good !!

Thankyou for the comments!
Please try to say "itadakimasu" for your next meal!
Thank you. Well good video! I look forward to visiting Japan in October 2024.
Thankyou for the comment!
Enjoy your japan trip:)
Thank you, lovely vid & very helpful! Rice on the left, soup on the right... I'll try to remember that for next time!

In the US, we eat Cesar Salad, which has mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, lemon and anchovies- this often has raw egg in it.
Caesar salads like that are served at restaurants in Japan as well! It’s delicious, isn’t it?♡
I wanted to make sure i did nothing wrong after my first experience in a japanese restaurant today, apparently i satisfied all the basics. That was good to learn. Thanks:)
Welcome! Enjoy your first experience today;)

"The louder the better" is not really true. Nobody cares. It doesn't mean anything. It's only for you to enjoy the noodles.

Additionally, chopsticks are not as effective as fork, knife and spoon. If I am the paying customer, I use which tableware I want. If they are not available, I go where they are.
Tf nagulat ako nung nagtagalog sya haha "Ansalap!"
I see 23 and I’m always wondering if we can’t do that then do we just put the piece of food on their plate? How do we pass it the correct way?
Hajimemashite, watashi no namae wa Manik desu. Bari jin desu. Dozo yorushiku 🤗

@@simplejapanesefood why do you have a Philippines flag? Do you have a restaurant in the Philippines?
He shouldn’t have wiped his hands over the food on the table. He could get dirt or other germs onto the carefully prepared food.
For some reason, rice on the left and soup on the right makes me so uncomfortable! Maybe it's because of left-to-right reading bias but because in Filipino culture, rice is more important, so my brain says it should go on the left.
Iyon ang kultura sa Pilipinas ლ (´ڡ` ლ) Salamat sa pagsabi sa akin!

I don't get angry (^^) If I go to another country, I will make a mistake in eating. I just wanted to introduce Japanese culture(*^^*)

I think eating fish its from right to left , not left to right , its that jappanese manners thats right ?
Slurping is considered rude everywhere in the world except Japan. Interesting. 🤔
I think so...
Wiping the hands over the food? Rule Nr. 2 🤔
