虽然日本的饮食礼仪中需要注意的地方不太多，但作为了解一个国家文化和风俗的必经之路，了解他们的饮食礼仪也是非常必要的。作为东方文化的一部分，它也会让西方人费一番心思。以下就是他们总结的在日本吃饭的六项注意：
Cultural differences can invite interest, rupture friendships or even spark wars. When visiting another country,
observing the proper etiquette over meals can go a long way toward opening lines of communication.
Japanese dining etiquette is fairly simple, and there are only a few small things to remember to make sure
that your meals will move along smoothly.
If a hot towel is provided before the meal, use it to wipe your hands. It’s considered polite and sanitary.
It’s customary to say “Itadakimasi” before a meal. It’s something of a catch-all phrase with no literal, easy translation in English. Look at it as a mixture between “Enjoy your meal”
and a remark of thanks.
Use your chopsticks for eating only. It’s considered rude to use them to point at people, tap on the table, and sketch out accents to verbal points or
other gestures.
Always lay your chopsticks down next to your bowl when you aren’t using them. Never, ever stick them upright in your food; this is a major faux pas, as that’s only done with ritual food at funerals.
Believe it or not, it’s acceptable to slurp your noodles loudly (just don’t make a mess). It shows appreciation for the cooking.
After the meal, it’s customary to say “Gochiso-sama deshita”.
