Hello ☺🌸

食事のエチケットを学びたい.
I am interested in dining etiquette

... (Are you?😅)

だから、友人は、上端から箸を使用するように私に言った-中央に保持しないでください. より洗練された, 彼は言った, (ありがとうございました!).
So, a friend told me not to hold chopsticks from the centre, but to hold them from near the top end. He said it is more sophisticated (thank you!).

しかし、昨夜、地元の居酒屋のマスターは、刺身用の箸さえ気にしないと言いました. 恥ずかしくない, 彼は言った, 何年も前、人々は手を使いました.
But last night, the Master at a local izakaya told me don't even bother with chopsticks for sashimi. He said it is not embarrassing and years ago, people used their hands.

写真のように箸をボウルに置くべきではありませんか？ 不作法?
Chopsticks should not be placed on top of a bowl like they are in this photo, right? This is bad manners?

Lastly: unfortunately, Google Translate did not work properly last night. Screenshot attached... Luckily, Master found it amusing. But the mistake was very embarrassing. We have a word, "peckish", which means something like, "a little hungry". Is there an equivalent in Japanese?

    You shouldn't place chopsticks on ……like the photo formally. And It's bad to point the tip of the chopsticks towards person who you are eating with.

    @Paddington パディントン Thank you, and funny you say that, I do find salad is much easier to eat using chopsticks than a fork. But for other dishes that need cutting, like schnitzel, a knife is preferable...

    基本的には「渡し箸」といって、器の上に箸を乗せるのは「ごちそうさま」という意味になります。 箸置きが出てこないようなお店では、割り箸の袋で箸置きを作ったりもしますが、箸置きが出てこない場合は、あまり気にしなくて大丈夫です。 https://youtu.be/CAOxNkUDRJ0

    We often use it’s wrapping paper instead of chopsticks rest if we concern about. But what the master said is right.

    高級なレストランだと、マナーがあると思います。 ナイフやフォークのように。

    I think good that you put turning sideways on bowl🙋‍♂️

    where to hold chopsticks: probably doesn't matter so much. you just look around while eating with Japanese people and you'd find how different they all are. although you might wanna watch out for crossing chopsticks, which is still okay because many Japanese do that, too. chopsticks on bowls: it is okay, but if the restaurant has a holder (a little piece of something which has a dence? in the middle), you want to use it instead. pekish: never heard of it before, but from your explanation, i suppose it could be 小腹が減る (こばらがへる

    When you place chopsticks on top of a bowl like they are in the first photo, it means you had enough so you shouldn’t if you didn’t finish yet.

    a little hungry→小腹が空いた 皿の上に箸を置いてしまうこと、日本人ならよくありますよ！

  • ryo

    A little hungry ＝ 小腹がすいた
