Summary:
Learn to use chopsticks. The first thing you should understand about certain Asian countries, is that some of them eat with chopsticks. Especially in when eating Chinese food in China or Japanese food in Japan.
Never pass along food in Japan: In Japan, it is considered disrespectful to pass food to people. This is because in the Buddhist funeral tradition, a person’s cremated bones are typically passed among family members using chopsticks before being placed in the urn. Passing along food at the dinner table is considered bad luck for this reason.
Never dip sushi rice in soy sauce in Japan. Sorry, soy sauce lovers! Putting your rice in soy sauce is an insult to sushi chefs. Apparently, they spend a lot of time curating the taste for the rice and dipping it in something else implies that it’s not good. Gee, them sushi chefs sure are sensitive.
DO Break up fish or meat with chopsticks in China. While I may not agree with their choice of utensils, I do enjoy a chicken ball from time to time. Nevertheless, you’re supposed to break up your Chinese food with chopsticks in China.
DO Sip from the bowl in China. If you love Chinese food, you will love this food etiquette rule! While your momma may slap you across the head for such an act here in the U-S of A, in China slurping your soup from the bowl is considered a compliment.
It’s okay to use a fork in Thailand, just don’t put it in your mouth. Alright, this one is tricky, but luckily the people at good old CNN clarified it. Apparently, you’re supposed to use the fork to put the food in a spoon from the plate, then eat off the spoon.
