japanese table manners 日本餐桌上的礼仪
Do use chopsticks to cut or break apart large pieces of food. Hold both chopsticks closer together in one hand and cut by pressing down. Don't separate them and try to cut things as you would with a knife and fork.
Do place chopsticks together on a chopstick rest,a small piece of ceramic or wood (see below left), if one is available. Most restaurants, however, use disposable chopsticks which come wrapped in paper that can be folded into a makeshift chopstick rest.


Do rest your chopsticks together across the lowest plate at your place setting when you are finished eating.
Do use chopsticks to pick up pieces slightly too large to eat in one bite. While most of your food should already be in bite-sized pieces, when you encounter something larger, simply bite off what you can and then return the rest to your plate.
Don't play with chopsticks. They are not swords, drumsticks, etc.
Don't stand chopsticks up in a bowl. Standing chopsticks up in a bowl of rice connotes an offering of food for the dead.
Don't use chopsticks to gesture or point.
Don't take something directly from someone else's chopsticks.
Don't use chopsticks to pull plates or dishes closer to you.
Don't use chopsticks to skewer or spear food.
Don't wave them over your food or poke at your food while you decide what to eat next.
Don't lick your chopsticks. (Licking one's chopsticks has a sexual connotation --proceed at your own risk.)
Don't use the ends you are eating with to take something from a communal plate. Reverse your chopsticks and use the other ends to take something from a dish that is being shared.

Some restaurants provide an o-shibori, or damp hand towel, to wipe your hands before eating. Although you will see some men wipe their faces with them, women should only wipe their hands. When you're finished simply fold the towel and put it back on its tray.
Don't eat directly from a communal dish. Whatever you take must be set down on your own plate before you put it in your mouth. (If you already read the chopstick page, you know that you should be using the other ends of your chopsticks to take things from a shared plate and you need to reverse your chopsticks before you can eat from them anyway.)
Alternate between dishes. Have a bite of fish, then a bite of vegetable, then a bite of rice rather than just starting with one dish, finishing it, and then moving on to the next.
At a good Japanese restaurant, a great deal of care goes into what you will be served and how it will be presented. This is not the time to ask for a number of special requests or substitutions.
For those of you lucky enough to be eating at a restaurant in Japan, remember that it is considered extremely rude to blow your nose at the table. Excuse yourself and take care of this in the rest room. Blowing your nose is considered a private hygiene matter and would be something akin to someone cleaning his ears at the table here in America.
