Japanese table manners

Hello. I'm Misaki. I'm going to tallk about Japanese table manners. In Japan, we usually use chopsticks, when we eat. There are a lot of manners to chopsticks. The usage of chopsticks with a bad manners is called ''Kiraibashi.'' Now, I'm going to introduce some examples about this. For example, we must not grasp two chopsticks. This is called ''Nigiribashi.'' We must not draw dishes in hands with chopsticks. This is called ''Yosebashi.'' We must not lick chopsticks. This is called ''Neburibashi.'' We must not drip from the end of chopsticks. This is called ''Namidabashi.''







Like this, in Japan, there are a lot of peculiar table manners.
