Chopstick etiquette is extensive and detailed! Now I'm wondering how many people I've offended by mistake over the years!
No body gets offended by foreigner. Its generally accepted as a honest mistake.
Only obsessive people get offended when someone makes a noob mistake. Most people don't expect foreigners to have good manners
Offending someone over something outdated and ridiculous? It seems like I did something right for once in my life. Japan is a hypocritical country. They assume foreigners have no manners but fail to realize that their OWN country has its fair share of ill mannered individuals just as worse. Like how common it is for men/women stalking their ex lovers. Or men train groping women. Or how in this day 'n age there are still abusive men treating women less than dirt but seeing it as something culturally common.
As a chines born n live in asia... You'll only offend older generations / or those caught in stupid beliefs.
I love sticking my chopsticks in the rice as it's the safest way to prevent it from falling off.
if you are not native, then no one
Chopsticks manners were mostly new to me. I had heard about NOT sticking chopsticks upright into rice and leaving them that way. But most of the other customs were new to me, even though they make good sense. I don't think that I've seen (or noticed) the chopstick rest before, but if you shouldn't leave your chopsticks in the bowl, it figures. It was interesting hearing Jane's comment that uneven chopsticks can lead to injury and death! That sounds more like a story that parents tell their children to scare them into behaving well.
It sounds like fan death myths lol
Because in Chinese language we have an idiom literally "three long two short" which means incidents or death. "Three long two short" refers to coffins where three long planks make up the long sides and the bottom, and two short planks make the short sides. So using two chopsticks with uneven lengths is considered to cause bad things...
@@yuezzzhang5820 very interesting. thank you for this comment
I agree.
Don't stick vertically.
In France and in all Europe I guess, making a sound when eating noodle is considered soooo disrespectful, I remember how chocked I was when I first saw it on a kdrama!! Anyway, great video girls, really instructive!
If it is soup noodle, eg ramen, won ton, miso...ill make sound and slurp, but if it is dish noodles eg spagetti, stir fry noodles, ill wont slurp or make sound.
I agree being from ireland I cant speak for everyone but ppl I'm around and where I'm from do tend to think making noises while eating is rude
In my family here in Brazil is kinda similar. It's bad table manners for us to make a sound when eating noodles or soup (or any kind of food really). I cant speak for the rest of the country but I believe it's similar in other families
in poland slurping is considered very rude and says that you have no manners, no matter what food you eat. if you do it in home with your family it may be ok, but definitely not when you're eating outside and when therea are other people. the same goes for making any sound when eating. and i think it's obvious that eating with open mouths, opening mouths while eating, talking is considered disrespectful and disgusting. there are many other manners
Chewing with your mouths open...
Burping...
Slurping...
Farting...
All things toddlers do 🤣!
What really struck me when I had a baby and brestfed: babies make all of these "impolite" noises together and even more: sometimes they're in such a hurry that they make this taking short deep breaths noise of all kind. And the final pleased Ahhh.... when they finsh their meal.
Ok, my take away from this is that elbows on the table is universally bad manners, and moms everywhere in the world will give you a hard time if you do this...
not where I am 🤣
In my country it's bad manners to have your arms under the table lol
Not actually in my country
You have noodles in italian cuisine?
Im still putting it on the table. Its the dumbest social trend to ever be started. Its an elbow, not a d***k.
As an all-time Chinese person living in Japan, I have been corrected many times about my bad manners while eating. I think most of the etiquettes are shared among the 3 countries, some even all around the world. However, in my family, if we have meals at home without any guests, we do loosen some minor rules, but when we go out to eat with people, we follow what the hostesses have shared.
你家到底多没有文化？筷子礼仪你在日本被纠正？你太搞笑了！你这样说不知道真的假的但是你真的丢脸！可以告诉你我家餐桌礼仪可以让那个日本人韩国人汗颜！在我家第一条不能穿睡衣拖鞋批毛散发到餐厅，估计你和日本人都做不到吧？
@@boluomi99 很奇怪吗？各国有各国的习俗。本地人本身就不应该指望一个外国人能懂他们的礼仪。所谓纠正只是善意的提醒而已，就像你告诉外国游客去厕所要记得自己带卫生纸一样。现在中国很多地方，尤其是城市里已经不注重这些繁文缛节了。如果你觉得讲究这些有意义是你的事，你不能要求其他人也跟你一样。关键是到了国外得知了别人的习俗虚心接受入乡随俗，尊重他国习俗就好。个人还是感觉实用比较重要。如果你真的那么尊重传统，首先请用繁体字，毕竟简体字是为了方便才后来发明的。其次请留全发，因为剪头发就是不尊重父母。
@@boluomi99 还有一点，真正让人嘲笑的是用自己的标尺去衡量别人，拿自己做了别人觉得无意义的事情去寻优越感。你这才真的给中国人丢脸。
I was missing , this 3 girls. Hyejin 💙, Kotoha 💛and Jane❤️ . When they are together in 1 video I love it
Jane especially has the clearest Korean accent, at least in my opinion.
Are they idols?
@@reizer05 no HAHAHAH
Do you know if Jane has a new Instagram? 😢😔 Can't find her on Instagram.
Aww the part where chopsticks to chopsticks being looked down on Japan reminded me of Ni-ki from enhypen! ♡
Same
Same lol...😂
the pikachu face he had on when that happened
Yeeh finally i found this comment thaks
Me too
I live in Tokyo as a university student, so I do know Japanese chopstick etiquette. Learning about those of Korea and China is certainly interesting
Wow, a follow-up to the last episode on chopsticks. We did an in-depth analysis of our three hostesses last time. Jane uses the Double Hook grip, and transitions to Cupped Vulcan. Hyejin is a master of Scissorhand, but wields Standard Grip and Lateral Thumb Wrestler as needed. Kotoha specializes in Standard Grip, and transitions to Turncoat as needed. It's cool to see another episode on chopsticks!
what... there's grips, wow. i need to learn how to use chopsticks.
@@azulcosmonaut There are like 40 named grips already. Just learn one :D I personally recommend the Beetle Mandibles grip. Super easy to master.
they have..... names......? i just know that
@Jesse Melvin - yeah, you will not find anything else online or in physical publications that identify chopstick grips and their differences. Don't you find it weird that nobody until now has bothered to even look and document in 3,000 years?
I prefer the Drunken Master style. I tend to eat alone as a result.
Different pond different fish. The main point is we only need to learn and respect other's culture and manner.
This trio is perfect!
The polite and respectful vibes in this video are the energy we all need in conversations
I remember when I was stationed in Japan and I went into my first Soba shop. Everybody was slurping their noodles, but then I realized there's hardly any other way to eat soba with chopsticks and not slurp. I loved my two years there.
Nothing like sucking it really really really haaarrrrrddddd.
@@yutb6092 , who are you talking to?
0:05 same energy as Ni-ki of enhypen
I haven't even started the video yet. I just wanted to comment on the hilarious look on Kotoha's face in the thumbnail!
너무 신기하다! 좋은 컨텐츠를 만들어주셔서 감사합니당💖💖
I have some question.🥺 Because Hyejin said that Korean place thier chopstick on the plain table. It mean that most of Korean Restaurant is really clean, doesn’t it? In my country I don’t think we can place fork or spoon on the table because we are so afraid that table might not be cleaned properly.😭🥲
I was also shocked when she said they put it directly on the table! It is never clean even if you think someone cleaned it, unless each time the customer used the table, the staff ensure 100% disinfection 😂(which never happens!). Cloths are often reused and not washed every single time, and you have no idea what was on that table before (someone's spit/muscus/vomit/trash/etc). Unless the person has an iron stomach and is not afraid of potential germs/worms/bacteria, then go ahead lol
I'd rather prioritize my own hygiene even if it risked of being seen as rude. Who know what kind of bacteria or other nasty things are there at the table.
It's exclusively a Korean thing I think. I live in a country where there are a lot of Chinese immigrants(diaspora/descendants) and we never put chopsticks on the table(very dirty!) . We line it up neatly on the bowl like what Kotoha did
Don't know if this is effective, but if I'm not mistaken, they are allowed to use paper napkin/tissue paper to prevent chopstick touch dirty table directly.
I thought we left our forks and spoons on the plate because we're scared of messing up table clothes/making everything dirty
2:43 That’s why Ni-ki looked so appalled when Sunghoon transferred his food to Jakes chopstick. I feel bad for Ni-ki living in Korea he probabaly sees people transferring food all the time & has to think of dead people, funerals, and bones every time he is just trying to eat in peace.
This is the first time I know about no.5! Omg
In Thailand we always place it on a bowl because we think a table surface is dirty (especially outside, even if they wipe the table in front of you)
Living in Taiwan, we have similar taboos.
We use the Japanese reason for not transferring food directly from chopsticks to chopsticks, but in recent years I think it's just for hygiene reasons.
We also have "public chopsticks and spoons" when we share a bowl of food.
We don't have taboo about using chopsticks singularly, as too many people (kids, foreigners) have problem using chopsticks "properly" on some particularly slippery food (such as whole boiled eggs). We just have to allow them. It's out of necessity.
We also don't forbid putting chopsticks on bowls, as many people don't have, or don't bother to use, chopstick stands.
For foods like boiled eggs I think it's fine to poke both chopsticks tgt in it
💀💀💀
I used to eat fish balls with one chopstick as a kid 😂
Idk man I've seen many people putting chopsticks on their empty cup ramen cups & even bowls
These 3 girls are awesome.
always love it when my fav trio pops up in this channel
I'm loving the episodes with these three! :)
i remember enhypen's niki reacting the same way when his members gave their food to each other by giving it chopsticks to chopsticks,, man was shivering !! 😭
Im really loving this series, everytime I see these 3 I instantly click on the video they are great and teaching us lots 🧡
i love it when these three girls make vids together!!
i'm surprised chopsticks on the bowl is a no-no in Korea...
right... to me it's super normal cuz people rather put it on top of the bowl rather than on the table for hygiene purposes
Goes back to watch kdrama. Guess everyone in kdrama is just naturally rude
I'm just wondering why not inside the bowl just like spoons?
It's because it's a rule that was most traditionally followed by elders. It's manners we learn from our parents and could get scolding if not followed but at one point we forget.
@@shivimalhotra6451 it easy to fell out and they already explain why you can't put your chopstick in the bow. You would know if you pay attention
TY we here in most of Europe have this putting your fork and food knife to position
5 o´clock. When you stop eating. This was really interesting.
Yes we have that too in Greece
My grandparents taught me several positions with 'meanings' for your cutlery. (Honestly don't remember half of it) but my grandpa uses two a lot. He'll put his knife and fork on the right side horizontal on the plate to show he is done with eating and his knife and fork on like (not good with the clock thing) 4 and 8? to show that he is still eating/planning on eating but taking a break or something. I know that there are more, but even these are not really being used here (in the Netherlands) anymore for as far as I know. I think that the eating rules are quickly disappearing and that a lot of things you were judged on in the past or were a no go then are completely fine now.
The middle one lied that eating with noise is frowned in Korea. It's loooooooved when you make the noise
I was literally Craving for the video to learn all these coz atleast once I want to travel to Japan, Korea and china
Thanks for the video🙂
I know they're trying to show the examples, but somehow i find it amusing that they do all the things they are not supposed to do 😂 aren't they wary of the bad things that are associated with those taboos? Btw love seeing kotoha.. she's so cute 😍
It only really counts if you're at a meal with people who care about chopstick etiquette lol
I mean it's to show an example.
Imagine if their families saw this video. Their ocd etiquette gauges would've gone thru the roof.
The beginning reminds me of Enhypens ni-ki
Wow this was interesting to watch
Thank you !
Very informative ladies❣😉✌Thank you for the knowledge ❣
I already love these 3 😭💖
It was interesting to know about these different cultures❤
Awesome video. Educational
Those 3 are 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️✨✨✨✨✨
A european here literally 📝📝📝 about everything. *LOVED* the previous video where Japanese, Korean and Chinese 🥢🥢🥢 were compared. Beyond interesting.
Thank you so much🙏🏻
🧛🏻♀️💜
i love how they are saying "don't do this, don't do that" and them proceeds in doing it hsjsjsj
Been watching these three and the more I do, the more I feel like Kotoha is becoming Momo in my eyes. I just miss seeing and hearing Japanese~ ♡
I really liked the comparison of the traditions of the three cultures.🇯🇵🇰🇷🇨🇳 It would be good if a Hungarian🇭🇺 inscription was also available. it was super just so on💞💞💞
After working in a Japanese restaurant for years, I prefer to eat with chopstocks. The Sushi Chefs would compliment me by telling me I ate "very Japanese" instead of American by both how I used my chopsticks and type of food I would enjoy. It just felt like tbe right way. When I began working there I was educated on proper etiquette.
I grew up in a Chinese household with some Vietnamese traditions and we were always encouraged to slurp our soups and noodles. None of us ate quietly, at home nor at Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants that we went to, especially Pho restaurants. If you ate quietly, you're basically saying that you aren't enjoying your food, and that's insulting to the chefs and cooks who worked so hard to make your meals delicious. I think it just boils down to being mindful of your environment and the culture around you. I would never make a sound while dining out at most places here in the U.S., but there are certain places where it is normal to do so.
It’s interesting and wonderful how we humans can give deep meanings to objects 😮
Symbolism
Hello ladies! I'm an American and find this very informative. Thank you.
Arigato!
This is the last video with these wonderful ppl on this channel that I can find...
I do that with disposable chopsticks too, but I picked it up from my firned her ex husband was Korean and she had visited there several times xx
I miss this trio together..when will they have collaboration again 🤗
Wow so cool
Great 👍👍👍
All the japanese and korean chopstick culture started in china, so obviously they share a lot of tradition. However, japan is seperated from china much longer and is the most "different", korea is developing away from chinese culture too. But the ancient beliefs are still part of daily life in all of them.
Jane's dress is so beautiful 🌟
I bet that in each of the three countries, there is at least one person who has deliberately done all of those as an act of rebellion.
very useful information on what not to do with chopsticks when traveling to asian countries
Depending on the type of food I'd use different tools to eat.
Rice, pizza ,fried chicken etc best tools is my fingers after washing them clean of course.
Soup, cereal, porridge,noodles etc etc the regular spoon
Steak, fish etc knife and fork.
Not particularly concern on the way I arrange them on the table/plate though.
Tq for this info.
Mostly learnt this growing up. In Hong Kong and China, each person may have a small plate where the food is placed. You can use a separate pair of chopsticks to give food to another person. 😋
I've never used chopsticks in my life but I still enjoyed this video. It's all so interesting. 💖
Eh, two lovers, .... Don't be seen passing morsels from chopsticks-to-chopsticks !!
😆........🤫✌️😄
This cool.. My country u can do everything with it, drumstick, juggling, darts, swordplay etc
Look so fun together
You are so cuteo

감사합니다
2:44 reminds me of niki from enha
Yayyy these are my fav countries and girls 💕💕💕🥺🥺
非常开心大家能够了解亚洲的筷子文化😊
Me, as a hispanic guy, watching an Asian video, with English subtitles, Imma need to sleep after this
Oh, I remember one time during Covid some friends and I were watching anime via Discord screenshare when suddenly we all heard shouting in what turned out to be Vietnamese because my friend Jen thought she could run to the kitchen and make it back before her mom noticed that she'd left her chopsticks stabbed into her rice. She was wrong.
so nice so beautiful

this is sooo interesting
4:48 even in europe (atleast in France) It's considered as rude to point someone, when I was just a kid every time I was pointing someone saying "what does this guy do" my parents always was told me to not point to people because It's really rude, so It's something that europeans share, but I've learned a lot of things on chopstick, because obviously I use a fork and a knife.
In Germany too. There's this saying "Man zeigt nicht mit nackten Fingern auf angezogene Leute" which basically translates to 'Don't point with your naked finger towards dressed people'
Its a custom basically everywhere. I have never once understood how its rude. If i need to point. I will point. I dont give a flying toot who thinks in their overly judgy heads that its rude. You cant hold yourself back for customs that are stupid and dont actually benefit you.
@@LilyUnicorn I think It's not good to point because it feels like you're judging the person you point, or it can also be, pointing someone is bad because if you say something rude he will not understand because if you don't point they will not know who you are talking about and so It's not awkward for you, I suppose
if you point one finger to someone else three others are pointing back at you
Uneven chopsticks I guess connotes 三长两短, which is an idiom that means dying of an accident.
I guess that is practically possible and explainable. It's good to not easy with different sized sticks.
Never used chopsticks but still watched the whole video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm Indian. I don't know about chopstick etiquette. It is so detailed and informatived.
my parents who were old-time Europeans, taught me that it is incorrect manners to slurp ones food and the only exception I ever saw them do it in was in Chinese or what is called Chinese restaurants but it's probably not because if it was real Chinese I think I would have understood the lingo at least some of it, the same goes with Japaneseand that has much to do with the grandparents of the kids I went to school with... Grandparents usually like me because I had a knack for wanting to pick up languages and generally an ear for it, although they noticed a slight speech problem I have, and realize that apparently I don'thear things properly and depend on looking at people's lips which I have done since I was a child although I'm not considered deaf I'm considered having acute hearingI hear what's normally out of most people's hearing range both high and low one ear hears higher the other ear hears in the below normal lower pitch, which means when people are speaking to me I have to look at their lips and focus on what they're saying in order to understand them.
As someone who grew up with a lot of these rules- it never occurred to me that it’s something unique or different :00
It’s so interesting to just scroll through the comments and see others points of views
Aaaaaand I'm gonna use a fork. This is too difficult 😂
Good info.
Bad info
How about in Indonesia? Well, you sit on the floor eating with your hands. But dont use the wrong hand to eat :'D
@Fire Heart who eats with their legs?
i know what you mean lol
I think he means left hand
very nice.
good video very novel to me
I love the japanese girl's hime haircut
Oh there's also a difference between how Japanese and Chinese eat rice from a bowl (mainly cos Japanese rice is stickier). Japanese pick clumps of rice from the bowl with the chopsticks, while Chinese use the chopsticks to shovel the rice grains from the bowl into the mouth. I would get told off by my mum if I did the former 🤭
I learned many things about the manners from Korea, Japan and China. Now I'm wondering kind of manners with chopsticks there are from my Vietnamese nationality (because I'm American)
This makes me scared of using chopsticks lol
I got embarrassed while using chopsticks once so I am here to learn it 😂
Fan of 3 them
Wondering how they end up speaking Korean ! 😅
I love this channel. I learned so much. Not that I'm ever going to remember which etiquette belongs to which country, but it is fascinating learning about all the differences. Here in the us, sometimes I have been told what is polite or impolite in chopstick use, but now I will know whether or not it's true depending on which type of restaurant I am in.
@YUTB this comment is completely inscrutable.
Kotoha might be the cutest human being alive
Oh, I didn't know that making some sounds while eating was considered disrespectful by also Japanese people! Cause in many Japanese movies and reality shows I watched, people were making HUGE noises while eating/drinking. So I've asked my Japanese friend about that, since making those sounds with especially soups is considered very very disrespectful in my country I was really curious about it, then he said "Japanese people make noises to show how delicious they find the food, no one thinks it's disrespectful here! ". And now, I don't understand which one is correct, I guess it's just depends on the person?? 😂
⭕️ramen soba noodle etc.
❌other foods （pasta etc.）
There are many Japanese (especially Edo-ko) who say that slurping noodles with sound is good manners and chic, but I think it is not about manners, but about the sound that is allowed.
In addition, ramen and soba noodles are casual fast food.
@@ga6662 oh got it. Thanks ^^
This is interesting as a Japanese
Spirits 🍹yes
I'm Asian and using spoon, fork, or hand. Making noise when eating is disrespectful but some people do it anyway.
I'm Chinese but I follow a lot of the Korean chopstick habits apparently
Growing up, my mom who is Vietnamese told me to rub the disposable chopsticks after splitting them to prevent splinters. That's the only time I would do that.
You should've featured Vietnam too.
My white dad when he was dating my Korean mom went over to her house to have dinner with her parents and he began eating rice with chopsticks and her parents gave him weird looks. Turns out that this is very bad for men to do because apparently eating rice with chopsticks is supposed to be feminine. This was back in the 90s, I dont know if that's changed now.
Woah, weird. Wait so how do men eat rice?
@@skeetsmcgrew3282
With a spoon lol
젓가락으로 밥을 먹는게 여성스럽다고 생각하지 않아요..ㅋㅋㅋ 한국인들은 보통 밥을 숟가락으로 먹습니다. 남자 여자 상관없이요. 젓가락으로 먹어도 상관은 없습니다.
@@user-qq5kz6je7f this was back in the 90s, when im pretty sure korea was still a developing country. so i think these social norms existed at the time, but dont exist anymore.
Sad that there's no Vietnam.... Vietnam has also used chopsticks as a main untensil for thousand of years.
Also, don't a lot of Vietnamese bowls have a hole that you can stick your chopsticks through?
Is that what the hole in the bowl is for, or should I not be doing that?
@@Vasharan ??
@@Vasharan i’m Vietnamese and i’ve never seen a bowl with a hole on it tho👁👄👁 are you sure that’s Vietnamese bowl?
@@Vasharan what do you mean by "a hole"?
Vietnam is not east Asian. They are southeast Asian.
What if you are left handed? Because I can NOT eat with my right hand. My mother tried to force it on me and I just can’t do it. Is this offensive? Should I worry?
How to use chopsticks:
1) Place chopsticks in trash receptacle.
2) Hold the fork with your predominate hand.
3) Enjoy your meal.
No
1) place the chopsticks inside your pocket
2) use fork and knife
3)enjoy meal
4) go out and make darts with chopsticks
2:44
Same reaction as me
Is no one gonna talk about how Jane's chopsticks were just standing there like??!
My family also tells me not to do all that 😂
