HOW TO BEHAVE! IN A JAPANESE RESTAURANT

                                              

Hold your chopsticks towards their end, and not in the middle
or the front third./When you are not using your chopsticks and when you are
finished eating, lay them down in front of you with the tip to left./Do not
stick chopsticks into your food, especially not into rice./Only at funerals
are chopsticks stuck into the rice that is put onto the altar./Do not pass food
with your chopsticks directly to somebody else's chopsticks. Only at funerals
are the bones of the cremated body given in that way from person to person./Do
not spear food with your chopsticks./Do not point with your chopsticks to
something or somebody./Do not move your chopsticks around in the air too much,
nor play with them./Do not move around plates or bowls with chopsticks./To
separate a piece of food into two pieces, exert controlled pressure on the
chopsticks while moving them apart from each other. This needs much exercise./If
you have already used your chopsticks, use the opposite end of your chopsticks
in order to move food from a shared plate to your own plate.
