【SLURPING! 】Which noodles are you allowed to slurp?!?

2023년 10월 26일

Now is the time to enjoy warm Ramen. I've been saying this all year round...
 
It tastes even better when I slurp it. Now, that doesn't mean I should slurp all the noodles.
 
In some countries, it is bad etiquette to slurp noodles. Actually, it's not good to make noise.
 
This time I made a video about "slurp''.
 
I also touch on the dining etiquette that I experienced in neighboring Korea. 



 表現ポイント/Expression point

①Slurpは?

I feel noodles taste better when I slurp them.

のように、slurp/slurp(すする)が一般的だと思いますが、他にも

I wonder if pasta tastes even better if you slurp it up making a lot of noise!

のように、make noise とか make sound (音を立てる)でもよいかと思います。

②hold the bowlは?

You shouldn't hold the plate up!
Also, I don't know which plates I can hold up and which ones I shouldn't.

のように、hold up(持ち上げる)ですね。

ただ持つだけならholdでいいのですが、口に近づけるためにテーブルから浮かせるのでupですね。

③Japanese sitting postureは?

正座(せいざ)といいます。
Japanese sitting posture(日本流の座り姿勢)
Sit on one's heels(かかとの上に座る)
Seiza(正座)
などいろいろな言い方があるようです。

動画の中ではこのようにしました。
My parents trained me to sit beautifully and straight when I was little.

sit beautifully and straightとし、正座が周りの人から見て美しく凛としている様子を表現しました。

Should you leave the food that was served?

I think eating all the food you're served is common etiquette in Japan.

It is a sign of gratitude to the creator and a wasteful spirit.

However, in some countries, it is considered rude to eat everything.

In this day and age where food waste is becoming a problem, I think the Japanese style of "Eating everything" is in keeping with the times. 

 Am I the only one who thinks this is more of an environmental issue than good etiquette?
