Det umuliges kunst. Mat som skvetter, og soyasausflekker på alt, er ofte resultatet av mine spisepinneforstyrrelser. Til nå! Endelig en diskret løsning for oss treneva faranger fra det høye nord. Det gode gamle klesklype-prinsippet funker. Det kan være litt trøblete å få maten av pinnene og inn i kjeften. Men du mister den i alle fall ikke. Og dersom pinnene er hule, kan du til også nyte sausen.

Eller du kan øve på dette:

Below are points considered to be impolite when using chopsticks. Keep them in mind when eating with chopsticks.

Saguri-bashi

Sorting food with chopsticks, as in selectively picking out the items you like from a serving dish should not be done.

Watashi-bashi

When resting your hands during a meal or when finished, refrain from placing your chopsticks across the rim of the bowl. Try using the chopstick rest or edge of the tray, instead.

Yose-bashi

This is pulling a dish out of reach closer to you with the chopsticks. Use your hands to reach for the dish instead.

Sticking chopsticks into the food. Even if the food is difficult to grasp, stabbing the food is strictly prohibited.

Namida-bashi

Dripping liquid from the chopsticks. Take care when eating ingredients in soup or sashimi dipped in soy sauce.

Mayoi-bashi

Waving your chopsticks above the dishes, while trying to decide what to eat. Make your choice before picking up your chopsticks.
