I love how you did a collaboration with best ever food review show. I wonder if we can talk you and Mark wiens into a similar collaboration? That would be amazing.
its always the ramen spots that you pay with the machine for me.
Using your fingers to eat sushi was a big surprise for me. Always thought you had to use your chopsticks when eating it 🥰
Omg. Kirin Ichiban is my favorite beer i the whole world. Did you guys know that the beer was invented by Norwegian brothers William Henry Talbot and Edgar Abbott. Im from Norway, by the way 🥰
Japanese people don’t have manners themselves. Many times, I caught Japanese people, especially men, stare at myself and my partner throughout our meal. We ate quietly. My partner wasn’t even wearing anything revealing. When we look back because we were so annoyed, they still stare.
They need to mind their your own business! Never going back to Japan.
I love seeing etiquette being practiced, when you appreciate each other the food tastes so much better, and speaking of which, the food at these places look so yummy, I was wondering about the slurping since the start, I learned a lot, and haven't been to Japan yet but eating at Japanese restaurants here in the States I've always appreciate the level of respect they give to their customers
What should I do if there's something that I don't like to eat? For example, uni at a sushi bar with a set course or soft-boiled egg in ramen. Other than sucking it up and eating it, is it better to inform them ahead of time, or just not eat it. Seems like a risk to insult them either way. Will be in Japan in October and don't to come off as rude.
I foresee power struggle in the future. It doesn't sound like Shizuka sees Eli as the "boss"…🤣🤣🤣. on screen talent or the producer? Hmmm…
Thank You Dear for wonderful video. Once in Japan į will be a gentleman in the restaurant ❤🙏👍
Thank you for the tips. So wonderfully presented as usual.
Aways a pleasure to get a simple and easy refresh directly from you. I learned first hand, got beaten a few times for minor mistakes by wife who have always been strict with manners. KANSAI gal can be scary. 😂
Inserting Chopsticks into rice is offensive in Asian cultures as it's compared to inserting incense sticks to respect to those who passed away and disrespectful to religion
I've had family & friends asking me about Japanese etiquette and aside from giving them tips on the most basic of Japanese etiquette, I've always told them not to worry too much about offending those around them. As Japanese locals won't expect them to be knowledgeable in the etiquette, and that as long as they aren't behaving in an obnoxious manner, littering, etc, then they will be just fine in Japan.
And side note, on the topic of whether to slurp your ramen or not. I've been in Japan for a decade now, but being British, I still can't bring myself to slurp my ramen! lol
10:09 Slurping your soup shows appreciation to the owner? Sorry I could not disagree with you more simply because when you are the customer who purchased that dish it consequently belongs to you and certainly you should be entitled to eat it however you wish without causing a disturbance to other patrons.
The breathtaking Shizuka….. aaaawwwwww… 🥰
i went to Japanese restaurant but did not enjoy because of slow cooking…..waiting to eat and few at a time is annoying and a few bite is just maddening. No never again..
I don’t like when people put their hand over their mouth while talking because my ability to hear is low. I consider this rude. And ladies do this even when not eating. It’s probably one additional reason why masks are so loved in Japan.
How would you feel if I came up to you and stated talking but I turned my head 90 degrees from your face. That’s what it feel like to me.
If you don’t like the food for some reason, what do you do? Is it ok to not finish the food?
I think people should eat how they want. Why force people to be a certain way unless you are a Nazi or showing some disrespecting on purpose. People that want and judge others to be like them needs to look at themselves and see if they are any better!
This woman is beautiful
Definitely need to have communal spoons and chopsticks for group meals. We can’t stand people who use personal utensils reaching out and picking and turning in the middle of a plate. Slurping is not necessary for the entire bowl as others may find it offensive each time you reach in.
Awesome video. Very interesting and I feel smarter now lol. When you were asking the lady about table manners, you should have asked her if Japanese follow the table manners. I think the younger generation does not follow the etiquette and manners like the older generation does. I know about sticking the chopsticks in the food, it means the food is only fit for your ancestors, as that is how you present food at their shrine.
You could at least wear a seiko citizen or orient watch
Is it okay leaving some ramen in bowl? My wife always have hard time finishing the whole bowl.
ちょっと待って順番おしぼりファスト、最初の乾杯、頂きますOMGあたりまい
Why did you keep putting your hand in front of your mouth?
英語が出来ても、日本人が長い年月を掛けて培ってきた美意識や文化を外国人に説明するのは難しく思います。良い動画ですね。
I appreciate the video for my girlfriend. I grew up in Japan and the whole thing of putting hands together comes across as political correctness. Only very devout Buddhists put their hands together, but it's so rare to see it in public.
I've only seen people putting their hands together. Maybe three or four times in public. Most Japanese people just respectfully bow their heads then say itadakimasu.
The same is true for goshisosamadeshita.
The reason why you do not stab your food with chopsticks is that is disrespectful to the dead ancestors.
Passing things from chopstick to chopstick is only done at funerals where the family members pass the bones of loved ones to a box. And from the box to the family grave.
