Chopsticks Etiquette For Japanese Cuisine

1. when you take chopsticks, keep them with your left hand.

The first step to get chopsticks is to get them.

When you take chopsticks, you should hold them with your left hand. In fact, they are thumb, forefinger and middle finger, but the ring finger and the little finger should also be close to the middle finger.

First, hold the central part of the chopsticks in the right hand with the right hand, then hold it down with the right hand, and slide the right hand to the right side of the chopsticks, then turn the palm upwards and move to the central position of the chopsticks.

When your thumb moves to the top of the center, you should hold it tightly and release your left hand.

2. chopsticks should be separated from each other.

Generally speaking, the use of hygienic chopsticks is usually used when entertaining guests. However, the more formal shops used are high grade wood chopsticks, such as farmed chopsticks.

When you want to pull out the sanitary chopsticks, you should first use the correct method of chopsticks, hold the chopsticks on the side, and gradually pull the chopsticks from your hands up and down.

Besides, in addition to very simple chopsticks, after the opening of the chopsticks, it can be said that it is a rather bad habit.

3. when you have bowls in your hand, you can pick up chopsticks.

When eating Japanese food, most of them eat with bowls in their hands.

If you hold the chopsticks in your hand and take the bowl with the same hand or put down the bowl, although you do not violate the etiquette, you can straighten all your fingers and get the bowl without holding the chopsticks.

If there is a bowl in hand, the way to get chopsticks is also different.

When you use the left middle finger and ring finger (or between the ring finger and the little finger), hold the chopsticks left side, then hold the right hand inversion.

Finally, don't forget, every time you take a bowl, you must put down your chopsticks first.

Maybe you find this very troublesome, but as long as habits become natural.
