Many people come to Japan and have problems with the use of chopsticks. Or tipping staff, etc. Today we talk to each other.

If you do not want to use chopsticks, please tell the staff that the spoon and fork.

Japanese people have a culture of chopsticks to eat all kinds from ancient to present. Some tourists who do not have the culture to use chopsticks may find it difficult to eat in Japan.

But first let's say that. To ask for a spoon and fork instead of chopsticks is not a bad manners anyway.

In general, the shop in Japan can ask for a spoon with a fork without problems. If you ask for a smile, it's great.

Although most Japanese are not good at English. But if we use communication by gestures. The Japanese are very kind in trying to understand the gesture that we communicate quite well.

Lines of food can be loud.

As we all know, Thai people are considered to eat the line and then loudly at the time of eating or soup is a waste of etiquette. But in Japan, the opposite is to eat the line that can sound without problems, it is good too. Show that food is delicious.

If you have a chance to get into the buckwheat, then try to look at the pronunciation.

At Japanese restaurants, there will be no tipping.

Usually, restaurants in Japan will not be tipping because the tip is included in the service fee anyway. If it is a luxury, it may be customary. But the restaurant is not tipping.

Tipping the staff is a bad manners in Japan. Should be collected in the bag itself is better.


Follow the rules and etiquette is important. I can travel to Japan more fun.
