Hi,Matt! I'm Masumi Horie. I would like to answer the question No.1.
ReplyDeleteIn both of European and American eating styles,you eat with a knife in your right hand and with a fork in your left hand.But they are different after using a knife.In European style, you eat by a fork with a knife in your right hand. But in American style, you eat, putting a knife at the upper edge of the plate and transfering a fork to your right hand.
See you next class!
Good evening, Matt!
ReplyDeleteI am Saki.I would like to answer the question no.3.
In China, the person who takes the dish first is quite important and sometimes high-rank.
Also, we mustn't take the last piece of food and look anxcious or hungry.
Just make natural part of conversation!
I listend to and watched this video again and again...a littele difficult!
See you ^^

In American eating style, when people take a break they stay their hands below the table. But in European they stay their hands up the table.
Of course,in both style they don't put hands on the table.
See you next class!
Hi, Matt！

That video was very interesting as a comedy for me. The actors in that video are comedians. If viewers are familiar with the Japanese culture, they can enjoy watching it. However, it's serious that there are people who think it's correct. They might misunderstand the Japanese culture and even Japanese people.
See you next class!

That video is very funny. I wacthed the video with laughing. I'm not familiar with the correct way to eat sushi but I'm sure that they use soysause too much. It is un healthy to take in salt excessively.
See you soon!

I'd like to answer the question No.2.
This video is very interesting. But now the most popular sushi style in Japan is revolving sushi. I think the advice in this video is almost useless.
See you tomorrow.

I often go to "kaitenzushi", but I don't go to sushi shops like this video many times.
So,I don't know the correct way to eat sushi.
Therefore, this video is very interesting.
I try to behave like this video when I go to sushi shop someday.
See you!

According to European style, you eat dishes with a fork in your left hand and a knife in the other hand.
In American style, people cut the foods with a knife useing right hand, and put it on the upper edge of the dish. Then they have a fork in their right hand and start eating.
See you soon!
