Chopsticks Manners in Japan vol.2

Every country has its own set of table manners. The table manners required when partaking of delicate Japanese cuisines are often considered too rigid. Manners are, however, an expression of how much you are about others at the same table, and represent the most efficient way of having meals.

They are convenient when is used, but do not disturb the atmosphere at table; learn a manner to keep it.
