Japanese table manners
• Before the meal, you would say いただきます (itadakimasu),
which means ‘I gratefully receive’.
• Proper use of chopsticks is very important
• It is customary to serve each other with drinks, instead of
serving yourself. ‘Cheers’= かんぱい kanpai
• Every meal is served with rice in a small bowl. It is normal for
there to be several dishes on the table, and you take bits from
each bowl.
• ‘Slurping’ is perfectly acceptable!
• At the end of the meal, you would say ごちそうさまでした
(gochisosamadeshita), which means ‘thank you for the meal’.
