Tip of the Day

How can we do without a tip about chopsticks?


Chopstick taboo #1: Do not pass food from person to person by chopstick.

Chopstick taboo #2: Do not leave chopsticks in rice bowls vertically in the rice.

Both of these are associated with rituals for the dead in Japan.


Chopstick rule #1: Don't lick the tips too much.

Chopstick rule #2: When sharing food with acquaintances, flip your chopsticks and use the other ends to get the food.

Chopstick rule #3: Don't talk or point with your chopsticks.

Chopstick rule #4: If you want to be eco-friendly, carry around your own chopsticks in a case.

Chopstick rule #5: Try not to stab the food with your chopsticks.

Chopstick rule #6: If you don't think you can pick up the food, cut it into smaller pieces. Keep holding the chopsticks the same way, but push down into the food to cut.
