From the Japanese perspective it is surprised that "Do you carefully and carefully explain it so much!?" Because it is an event that requires considerable citizens for overseas people, leaving as nuances as possible It is.

Top 10: Rules of Sushi Etiquette - AskMen.com

1: Do "Seiza"


Let's do "Seiza" when eating sushi. "Seiza" is a way of sitting to put the butt on Achilles tendon. "Seiza" began from the era of Samurai to show respect for others. But this attitude is so numerous in contemporary Japan, because my legs are numb. However, if you do "Seiza" at the table with a lot of Japanese meals, it will be a place to be placed at first glance. However, let's do it only when passed through the house. If you do "Seiza" on a chair, you will be deemed a funny guy, so you need to be careful.

2: say "itadaki masu (I will have you)"


There is no English expression equivalent to "itadaki masu". In other words, it is like saying a word in combination with "Wow!" And "Well, I should start eating". To express our gratitude, let's say this phrase before you eat a meal. Then the Japanese girls who were present will think you are cute.

3: Do not take into account


One of the biggest fun when going out to eat sushi is the huge bottle beer of Kirin, Asahi, or Sapporo. Japanese beer is very tasty with a refreshing flavor. But please keep in mind that it is not the purpose of drinking a large bottle of beer like this here, but for sharing with people who are present. Please pour the beer to everyone at the same time, please put a bottle gently on the table. People who can be concerned among the participants will pour a beer.

4: I order "omakase".

There are no more people familiar with sushi than sushi craftsmen. I know what fish is fresh and seasonal. Sushi craftsmen are all men because women 's hands are too warm, so it is considered impossible to make sushi (editing: there are also sushi shops that women craftsmen will hold). "Omakase" is to let the sushi craftsman all the contents of the meal. If you order this method you can definitely eat fresh fish, and the sushi craftsmen have great pride in being told "Omakase". Sushi craftsmen are largely dissatisfied with the fact that visitors from overseas order only tuna or salmon. Let's appeal that "Omakase" is what you are called "tsu". However, as a result of "Omakase", there is also the possibility of returning to the state where only tuna or salmon is requested from the next.

5: Learn to use "Waribashi"


"Waribashi" is not used in high-class sushi restaurants, but there are things to watch out for when you go to the shop where "Waribashi" is served. The most gentleman's way of doing is to hold "Waribashi" horizontally and break it. The shop where "Waribashi" is located in Japan is often crowded, so if you hold it horizontally and fold it, it reduces the possibility of eating someone's face on the face.

6: Do not put soy sauce on Shari


Please do not put soy sauce on top of shari. People in Japan have tremendous pride in rice, so if you put soy sauce on a shari with a delicate flavor and a delicate taste, you will appear to destroy beautiful things from Japanese people. There are few countries that have customs to eat white rice, which may be frustrating why you should not taste rice, but you should be able to imagine the hearts of Japanese people.

7: I will not let the rice stand outBuddha chopstickDo not do)


In Japan there is a custom to visit the ancestral tomb. Sweeping around the grave, decorating the flowers, I will pierce the chopsticks into the rice which was covered by the tea. Because of this kind of customs, let's stop piercing rice with pork at the table.

8: Do not hand foods from chopsticks to chopsticks (Combined chopsticksDo not do)

In Japan, we celebrate the deceased by cremation from a Buddhist perspective. After the incineration is over, the survivor surrounds the ashes, picks up the remains, picks it up and hands over it. In order to remind this behavior, it is considered as a violation of manners to give food to people while grabbing food at chopsticks during meals.

9: Do not leave rice grains


In the era 65 years ago, when killing for a cup of rice under wartime, if it left only one rice in the crowd, it would have been thought that it was a celebrity in a bad sense . Even today in Japan, the hatred of leaving rice continues to live. In addition, eating without rice is a good way to show respect to sushi craftsmen.

10: say "Gochi-so-sama-deshi-ta"


"Gochi-so-sama-deshi-ta" is something like saying "Oh, how wonderful! Normally, words of praise will be said unless you are satisfied from the bottom of my heart, "Gochi - so - sama - deshi - ta" is a word that you must be sure at the end of Japanese meals. If you say so to the sushi craftsman, you probably will bow. Also, if the sushi craftsman was an old-fashioned person, I will answer "osamatsu deshita", this word means "I'm sorry, I could not have had a meal a lot." Even though I am proud of having done the best sushi in my inner work, I say:
