PRESENTATION OUTLINE
1.
JAPAN:
DINING OUT
2.
SEATING:
Most restaurants have western styled tables and chairs.
Although some have low floor seating where you sit on the floor.
If the seating is on the floor it is polite to take off your shoes at the door.
Some restaurants have both options and the waiter will ask which you prefer.
It is rare for people to be able to seat themselves.
3.
FOOD:
Some restaurants have plastic or wax replicas of their food on display.
The menus can either be pictures or just Japanese and the replicas help.
When you are ready to order you can say "sumimasen" (excuse me) to alert the waitress.
Most meals are served with water or fresh tea and chopsticks are normally set already.
At some places it is expected to order as a group a bunch of dishes and split the total.
4.
PAYING
At most places it is uncommon to pay at the table.
Most restaurants have you pay up front with your receipt.
However at Ramen and gyudon restaurants you get a meal ticket and bring it to the workers who then make it.
It is not appreciated to leave tips. Most employees will chase you down to give the money back.
The receipt will normally be given to you as you get your meal or after you're done eating.
5.
DINING ETIQUETTE
When using chopsticks, don't point them at other people or wave them around.
A hot towel will be placed for you, use it to wash off your hands before eating.
Gulping down drinks is rude, but gulping down food is alright.
Slurping noodles isn't considered bad manners, just don't let the noodles fall back into the bowl.
When drinking tea, do not ask for sugar or cream.
