We will no longer eat pre prepared noodles sold in a convenient store just to have a little bit of taste of their cuisine. In fact, some individual who traveled in Japan usually speaks about the food there and their marvelous culture when they came back.

Different places of Japan has different kinds of specialty. It is a must that you must try everyone of them if you every want to go there. Actually, it is not just in Japan but all the traditional Japanese restaurant NYC. They offer foods that are too great that you will think that you are in Japan without ever paying for a plain ticket.

With over half a million of this sort of restaurants all over the world, most of them serve an outstanding variety of delightful drinks and foods. If you ever want to go to Japan or even go to a Japanese restaurant, most of them have customs that you might not know. In this article, we will no more about them.

We all know that if we bow to a certain individual it shows that you really respect him or her. However, we are not doing this quite often because it is too formal. In the place of Japan, this is a must thing to do especially if you are talking to a person older than you. They usually do this, when they say hello to someone.

Additionally, if you are to address someone, you should always add the suffix san on their last name or same if you want to be more respectful. Actually, this is not always the case. If ever you are addressing a children a more appropriate suffix is chan for girls and kun for guys.

Enough of the addressing and let us go ahead to table behaviors. Typically, when you are in a dinner party you will receive a drink. Most of us will immediately drink it once it was served. In their tradition, it does not work that way. You have to wait for an individual to raise a glass and yell something before you go ahead and drink it.

You might find it very annoying hearing someone making noises when they eat their noodles or sip their soup. Take note, this is a thing you must also do especially if you like the food. This will convey a message that you like what is served and your enjoying sipping it.

After each service especially if we are happy with it, we tend to give a tip. In Japanese restaurants, this is somewhat insulting. They have this notion that the price you paid already covered the service as well as the food and it is not necessary for you to add an extra charge on top of that.

There are a lots of other Japanese customs out there which are not covered. The important factor is, you enjoy the food and you have a little bit of an idea on how to behave on this kind of environment. Try it, and you will be amazed how amazing their foods are.
