RE: Growing a Community in Japan With Help From Other Communities
If you are eating a Japanese dish, you will probably eat it with "hashi" ("bar"). The washes are placed on the table "hashioki" (barstick) and on the left-hand side. Take the washer with your right hand and hold the tip in the palm of your left hand, then move to the holding position. We hold it not from the middle of the wash, or from its thin end, but near the thick end.
Knowing the rules and etiquette of an country will help you to better understand its social structure and way of thinking. It will also prevent you from making big mistakes.

For this reason, we will introduce some basic Japanese etiquette rules below.
