Eating Ethics (Habbits) Recently I've been eating at a Japanese restaurant and I've been wonder what some basic eating habits I should pick up if I were to eat in a Japanese restaurant in Japan. Such as the right way to hold chopsticks, what is considered rude versus polite, and some good manners. As of now I know that burping can be seen as a sign of a well cooked and eaten meal, but it still feels rude to do it because I've been used to it being a negative thing to do, as well as slurping noodles. It's just an interest I've been wondering, thanks for your responses. :)
