My mouth is watering just looking at it! I love the way that the food is presented and the mixture and balance of taste, although I didn't know there was a correct order to follow. I have been travelling to many different countries but Japanese food would still have to be my favourite. I am now preparing to go to Spain where the people there enjoy their food, so I am really looking forward to it.

This way I satisfied eating food. But it will be good to know the correct manner, then eat how we want. I m japanese, but I dont know much about Japanese good manner.

I know a Japanese custom called "Hashi nurashi", which means wetting chopsticks. When eating starts and chopsticks are still dried, foods are easiry glued to them. In order to avoid such situation, people use their chopsticks to drink soi-soup first. This custom is very effective when you use disposable wooden chopsticks much more than lacquered ones. Though you may agree that this custom is practical one, there are few Japanese to know this recentry. Hi, Clarissa!

I thought I would share with the readers my family traditions, this is how it goes:- 1. Whine and whine and whine that you can't possibly wait for it to be cooked and repeat it takes to long over and over again. 2. "Is it ready yet Mum?" stage where I repeat a few times "nearly". 3. It's ready now, so sitting at the table but now it's to hot and of course takes to long to cool down! 4. Now it's cooled I spend the next 10 minutes repeating myself trying to get them to sit still, eat with their mouths closed, don't slouch, elbows of etc. 5. Exhausted I sit back and realize they are a copy of me and laugh to myself Oh well, they'll get it eventually... I hope! Dear Clarissa, the Japanese surely do have some peaceful traditions.
