Please make more videos with these three. I love learning about the differences between China, Japan, and Korea. It’s especially important since we westerners tend to treat Asians like they’re all the same.
i’m surprised this didn’t make it to the video.. Koreans only use one hand at a time, either holding chopsticks or spoon. The other hand is always under the table. This is rude in Chinese culture, both hands are always on the table. Either holding both chopsticks and spoon at the same time, or bowl and chopsticks, or just on the table if the other hand is not in use. Not so sure about Japanese but I think it’s similar to Chinese culture.
@@CeliaGoh Using both hands is very rude behavior and looks arrogant in Korea. When I was in military and military has more strict rules about eating. I used my both hands and I was hit by people almost to death because they said I used my both hands haha.
@@user-so6gi3pf3b oh my, hope you’re well, didn’t know using both hands could be this rude in Korea🙈it’s the other way round in Chinese culture (at least in my family).. even if i’m only using chopsticks, the other hand should always be on the table, either holding the bowl or just staying still on the table😂 or else i’ll get nagged by the elderly for being disrespectful 🙈
Yes I am southern chinese and I confirm this, if I hide one of my hand under the table my parents would be like: hey! are you eating or masturbating? put that goddamn hand on the table and eat like a "stood-up" person would eat!! It's very funny, and by "stood-up", this cultural concept means putting one hand under would mean you aren't that interested and thankful for the food and you are a bit hideous for hiding one hand-- like a thieve would or you know like touching your genitals maybe.
6:50 when the girl refers to eating rice with rice, "eating food" in Chinese language directly translates to "eating rice".....actuality....Chinese eat rice with chopsticks not with spoons for the most part. Great video.... to show differences to others that may not be familiar. Funny thing...is the difference in chopsticks is sooooo true. At my parents house we always have long medium-thick chopsticks, one time someone gave me Japanese chopsticks and I thought, this is so thin, but they are pretty because they have fancy designs. I do like eating Korean food with the metal chopsticks, i feel like you can clean it easier and its more durable. Btw...I'm Chinese, majority of my friends are Japanese, and my husbands Korean. I love all 3 cultures and food!!
I am from Malaysia and also a Chinese ethnic descendant. We eat exactly like the mainland Chinese and most Chinese descendants around the world. However I don't like sharing the dishes with other people in the same big table because I am a slow eater and I don't like having too many dishes on my plates at once...(yes im a rare case 😂😂😂) Also, it's rude to pick everything at once so I always have to be very careful of not taking too much at once and worrying over not eating enough due to my slow eating 😂
gulp I'm from singapore and I never knew doing that was considered rude... Isn't it unhygienic to keep getting food from the main dishes with chopsticks stained with your saliva though?
저는 한국어를 배우고 있습니다. I'm learning Korean, and these ladies are helping me a lot with that. They're also helping a lot with learning about Korean culture and cultural differences (and similarities) between China, Japan, and Korea. Thanks, ladies!
@@user-ld5cr5vy3uI love China🇨🇳 & Japan🇯🇵 more than South Korea🇰🇷 because, Korea is divided into North and South which I extremely hate . It will be nice if South and North Korea unites as a Single country Both same Korean countries that's why .
I hope they do more videos on the differences in food culture. I think the next one should be about leftovers and recipes (or tips) that came about because of them. Like adding cooked rice to your miso soup to make it more filling. My dad tells me it's considered a "poor person's" habit in Japan to do so but it's my favorite way of eating miso soup.

Loved this vid! Would like to know about the differences in sharing the meal (from your own plate or picking from the pot and offering it directly to another person and so on) with friends, lovers etc 🥰
This video reminds me of where I worked in California and one night we were all eating chips and snacks with chopsticks because no one wanted to dirty their hands during work haha. Since everyone was from different cultures and raised differently everyone was holding their chopsticks differently.
this stuff for me is really interesting and also important, as i'm italian and these holidays i'm gonna go for a trip in the eastern countries. we still have to decide where to go, but in the meanwhile, it's really useful for me to watch those things. thank you hyejin, kotoha, jane!♡
Thanks i found the channel by chance and so far all the videos I have seen have peeked my curiosity so I want to thank you all that works on the videos from the speaking friends to background jobs thanks
As a child, it was always fun to spin the table to get the food towards you. But you had to be carful to not spin the rotating glass with to much force, or the food might fly out and hit people.
So is there a rule about who is when allowed to spin that table? As if that system was used here there would have been a bloodbath amongst us children every single meal
@@hmvollbanane1259 there was never a specific rule of who got to spin the table, if you wanted the food to be closer to you, you simply rotated the table until it got to you. But all the children would’ve had their asses beaten if they started spinning the glass like madmen. 💀💀 It was an unwritten rule.
@@hmvollbanane1259 There's no specific rule but since young we are taught to be mindful of others when spinning the table. You'd have to judge if someone is taking food, if there is you wait for that person. After which you can spin the table when no one is using it.
Aaahh...I see. Now I understand more about the table setting and the table manners for each countries. Very informative. Need more like this please, so whenever I go to each restaurant (Chinese/Korean/Japanese food) I would see how close they understand each culture.
I grew up with these rules as I am half Korean, but maybe it's because I was raised overseas during a time when Korean goods weren't readily available, I grew up using both Chinese and Japanese chopsticks. I prefer the Chinese style chopsticks, but I can use all three. And of course I have my spoon and my soup and rice when eating Korean food. I wonder though if Korean eating etiquette was different for royals....
This is so interesting to know, I think in Bulgaria it's rude to lift up the plate/bowl whilst eating but it's perfectly fine to do at home and shows that you're really enjoying the meal (at least in my family). It's also looked down upon if you hold your knife and fork in the wrong hands but since I'm left handed I never remember which is the correct way so I've always just done it how it's comfortable for me even though when I was little, adults would always force me into using my right hand. In Bulgaria we usually have salads, steaks and such in a big bowl in the middle and people can just take from there but we never eat anything from the same dish/bowl. Also no elbows on the table but both hands should be above the table at all times!!
Yep pretty much the same in Germany ( besides the lifting up dishes in private) and no head coverings at the table, that one is also very important. It was so weird to me when I spent a year abroad in Canada and everybody was just sitting there with their left hand in their lap. Even attended a marriage ceremony and everybody was dressed up nicely but still had their hands under the table during the meal, which never stopped irking me the wrong way during my entire stay there.
1. I'm Chinese and actually spoon is optional when eating rice. I use chopsticks and scoop off the rice bowl. 2. If you're using a spoon then it's ok for the rice bowl on the table, otherwise hold with other hand.
It's very pretty eastern countries take too much care of good manners and traditions when they're in eating time hehe, it looks so beautiful, i like it!
This is a really interesting subject to talk about. I loved hearing about the differences between the countries and then compare them to the culture in America. Very interesting.
@@LEBuwu But that's not the traditional culture of the West. Koreans also use fork and knife in some restaurants, but chopsticks are what they use most of the time, similarly to how in the West most of the time you use fork and knife (and spoon for soups).
So? Most of the world doesn't use chopsticks, not just western countries. Knives and forks work well. Asians have copied many things from the west as well
Having grown up in America I find it more natural to keep the rice bowl on the table than to pick it up. Bringing dinnerware close to the face is considered uncouth. However, when I'm at a korean restaurant eating a delicious bowl of soup or noodles I'm dying to bring the soup to my face to slurp it down.... but refrain because I know it doesn't look good by western and korean standards.
I love to see each different table manner. For sometimes it is taken for granted because they are part of us. But when we compare to each other cultures, there are a lot of differences and sameness to have.
Jane said how the Chinese use spoon to eat rice, note to that, usually it’s only kids that eat rice with a spoon, adults and people older don’t use a spoon to eat the rice (traditionally). So spoon is actually just used to drink soup, and everything else is just chopsticks. If there’s a dish with like soup or a sauce, there would be a spoon that comes with that dish, but you don’t “use” it, that spoon is for the food, not for you.
fried rice that are loose and not sticky is usually spooned to mouth. I was told using chopsticks to sweep rice into mouth is bad manner. because generally mostly lower class blue collar workers do that and they tend to over stuff their mouth in this way, hence chewing with it open. so food dropping and spilling out a lot especially when in a hurry.
@@vanessab6123 io amo Giappone e Corea😍 anche la Cina non mi dispiace, é bello imparare le differenze tra i vari paesi... ora so che le bacchette giappe sono le mie preferite!
Bcoz some Korean words are derived from Tamil Actually many Asian and European languages are derived from Tamil 🔥🔥🔥 Not tamilian,a kannadiga But proud to be south Indian
It's interesting that east asian countries have this complicated eating etiquettes meanwhile in Indonesia the most normal casual way of eating is just to pile foods on one plate, hold the plate up and use your right hand to eat. You just sit however you're comfortable. Most low income people don't even have a table. It's different if we eat at a proper restaurant though. We usually use western table manner.
One thing I noticed in Japan is that Japanese rice is literally like a glue. The rice would be literally stick to whatever you are using, but in case of spoon it would be awkward to use teeth or tongue to take it off because lips alone wouldn't be enough lol. But for chopsticks, it's like perfect for eating Japanese rice because you could scoop even big chunk of rice because it's glued to each other and chopstick being straight is easy enough for lips to pull it off.
When the Japanese woman mentioned porcelain... didn't she mean pottery instead? I think, Japan has a strong culture regarding wonderful ways to make pottery with very special technics.
I grew up in a conservative southern family in the states. We have personal meals but also aspects of the meals are shared depending on what is being served. We also pray before every family meal. Once the prayer is finished we all start eating together, we don't have to wait for anyone (as long as everyone is seated of course).
im chinese..we stopped using the traditional styled chopsticks a long time ago. we switched to japanese style cause the tip is pointier for precision and now we've switched over korean ones because stainless steel is more hygienic and a quality set will last a VERY long time.
My Thai grandparents babysat my brothers and me until I was about 9 and we always ate with our hands. Even when my older cousins fed us or my grandparents, they would feed us directly from their hands too. I still remember clearly how strange it was to use utensils for rice when I got older and my parents were trying to break us from the habit. Honestly it’s a very comforting way of eating to me now .
I like Japan because of so many things but my issue is the food! I am not really a big fan of sweet food for which in Japan, it is common to mix sake, sugar, and soy sauce as bases for many dishes. However, I like sushi, tempura, miso soup, tofu, and sashimi. I also like their noodles, especially soba noodles! I like Korean foods a lot as it is similar to our food back home. I make my own kimchi and I eat it sometimes as it is. I also like Chinese food as it is tasty. My only concern is it can be oily sometimes.
I wonder if there were any differences regarding using napkins / serviettes? Living in Canada, regardless of whether someone dines in at restaurant or orders take-out, napkins are usually placed on the dining table or are given with the food. Maybe each country has their own style, history and etiquette regarding this.
I grew up eating rice with spoon without knowing it's a Korean thing to do. Chinese families can eat very healthy meals at home (seen it first hand), and I think Cantonese people generally eat healthy overall. It's mostly in restaurants that use the bigger chopsticks. China has side dishes. It's just not a strict culture like ban chan. They don't serve grocery store pidan and dry tofu in huge ass plates lol. A side dish is a side dish. I think not all Korean chopsticks are heavy. You can buy light ones to use at home, and there are round hollow metal chopsticks at some restaurants that aren't heavy.

근데 외국인들이 오해하는게 한국인들이 밥먹을때도 영상속 모습처럼 고개를 박고 먹질 않아요;; 국이든 밥이든 뜰때만 살짝 수그리지 입에 넣을때는 보통 고개가 다올라옵니다. 이게 외국인들이 한국인이 그릇을 안들고 먹는다해서 무조건 고개숙여 먹을꺼라는 아주 잘못된 생각임. 고개를 숙이고 먹는경우가 아에 없진 않은데 그건 대부분이 면종류같이 어쩔수없을때에만 그런거지. 일반 식사. 밥. 국. 밥찬 먹을때 고개를 박는경우가 없음. 그냥 조금 고개는 안꺽고 뜰때만 몸만 낮추는형식의 숙였다가 섭취할때는 다시 세우는게 보편적이지..
이것도 근대에 들어서며 그런거지
아주예전엔 숙이지도 않았다고 들음.

Jane said how the Chinese use spoon to eat rice, note to that, usually it’s only kids that eat rice with a spoon, adults and people older don’t use a spoon to eat the rice (traditionally). So spoon is actually just used to drink soup, and everything else is just chopsticks. If there’s a dish with like soup or a sauce, there would be a spoon that comes with that dish, but you don’t “use” it, that spoon is for the food, not for you.
fried rice that are loose and not sticky is usually spooned to mouth.
I was told using chopsticks to sweep rice into mouth is bad manner. because generally mostly lower class blue collar workers do that and they tend to over stuff their mouth in this way, hence chewing with it open. so food dropping and spilling out a lot especially when in a hurry.
Are you guys doing an episode showing how these 3 different cultures drink soup using chopsticks?
중국친구가 진짜 엄청 똑 부러지네. 한국친구는 우리문화 설명할때 공부좀 더 했으면 좋겠네요.

Anch'io sono italiana 😃 amo questo canale, sto imparando tante cose sulla cultura di questi tre paesi

i don't care i am just watching these lady gems of south-east asia🤣
5:00 Even in South India Mom is called amma and father is called appa. It's very similar
Coloquially it's mamãe e papai in Brazil, but then that's expected because many Indian languages share an origin with European languages.
Bcoz some Korean words are derived from Tamil
Actually many Asian and European languages are derived from Tamil
🔥🔥🔥
Not tamilian,a kannadiga
But proud to be south Indian
Mother in Korean isn't amma but eomma
@@user-uh7ct7yo8m yes they just meant it sounds similar
@@tl8211 Europe most words are taken from Sanskrit. There is no words originated from Europe
lovin these!!!
Nice view in different culture I Food leveling
It's interesting that east asian countries have this complicated eating etiquettes meanwhile in Indonesia the most normal casual way of eating is just to pile foods on one plate, hold the plate up and use your right hand to eat.
You just sit however you're comfortable. Most low income people don't even have a table.
It's different if we eat at a proper restaurant though. We usually use western table manner.
Great moment sharing
One thing I noticed in Japan is that Japanese rice is literally like a glue. The rice would be literally stick to whatever you are using, but in case of spoon it would be awkward to use teeth or tongue to take it off because lips alone wouldn't be enough lol. But for chopsticks, it's like perfect for eating Japanese rice because you could scoop even big chunk of rice because it's glued to each other and chopstick being straight is easy enough for lips to pull it off.
When the Japanese woman mentioned porcelain... didn't she mean pottery instead? I think, Japan has a strong culture regarding wonderful ways to make pottery with very special technics.
I grew up in a conservative southern family in the states. We have personal meals but also aspects of the meals are shared depending on what is being served. We also pray before every family meal. Once the prayer is finished we all start eating together, we don't have to wait for anyone (as long as everyone is seated of course).
Cool :D Even tho im from the USA it's fun to hear what other families do!
Please next Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore.. ❤️
When videos are done like this, I'd love to know what language they are speaking! That is so cool!
Korean
im chinese..we stopped using the traditional styled chopsticks a long time ago. we switched to japanese style cause the tip is pointier for precision and now we've switched over korean ones because stainless steel is more hygienic and a quality set will last a VERY long time.
My Thai grandparents babysat my brothers and me until I was about 9 and we always ate with our hands. Even when my older cousins fed us or my grandparents, they would feed us directly from their hands too. I still remember clearly how strange it was to use utensils for rice when I got older and my parents were trying to break us from the habit. Honestly it’s a very comforting way of eating to me now .
I still do that on occasion XD
you can tell these girls like doing these videos together, super entertaining
I like Japan because of so many things but my issue is the food! I am not really a big fan of sweet food for which in Japan, it is common to mix sake, sugar, and soy sauce as bases for many dishes. However, I like sushi, tempura, miso soup, tofu, and sashimi. I also like their noodles, especially soba noodles! I like Korean foods a lot as it is similar to our food back home. I make my own kimchi and I eat it sometimes as it is. I also like Chinese food as it is tasty. My only concern is it can be oily sometimes.
I wonder if there were any differences regarding using napkins / serviettes? Living in Canada, regardless of whether someone dines in at restaurant or orders take-out, napkins are usually placed on the dining table or are given with the food. Maybe each country has their own style, history and etiquette regarding this.
This video amazed me 🌟🌟🌟
So cool. 감사합니다 .
Awesome video
I liked that she also explained the table
1:50 "Japan is very personal" lol just love it 😆
I grew up eating rice with spoon without knowing it's a Korean thing to do.
Chinese families can eat very healthy meals at home (seen it first hand), and I think Cantonese people generally eat healthy overall. It's mostly in restaurants that use the bigger chopsticks.
China has side dishes. It's just not a strict culture like ban chan. They don't serve grocery store pidan and dry tofu in huge ass plates lol. A side dish is a side dish.
I think not all Korean chopsticks are heavy. You can buy light ones to use at home, and there are round hollow metal chopsticks at some restaurants that aren't heavy.
Ban chan是什么？
@@hanling586 it's just everything that is not the main dish
I love japanese girl she is so pretty ❤️
i know right .. kawaiii desu
Ikr she is so cute too!
@Jk no she is not korean she is japanese but living in korean 🇯🇵

I was expecting more about eating etiquettes, like more of the rules of Japanese dining.
