Getting to Grips with Chopsticks
Japanese cuisine is some of the best in the world and so no trip to Japan would be complete
without dining out – and using chopsticks. Japan takes chopsticks seriously so knowing a
little about local manners can go a long way when dining.
When sharing dishes in a group, diners should make a note not to eat directly from common
dishes and understand that it is considered rude to hover their chopsticks over dishes when
choosing what to eat.
