In this episode, we talk about chopsticks in Japan and the little rules that surprise a lot of foreigners. From simple manners to big “don’ts” connected to funerals, we break down what’s polite, what feels awkward, and what people actually notice at the table.

We chat about common mistakes, why sticking chopsticks into rice is a big no, how to cut food with chopsticks, and which habits Japanese people usually forgive foreigners for.

Amber also shares some tips you can try when using chopsticks and which "don'ts" even Japanese people sometimes do.
