Table manners in Korea

Koreans usually use flat-headed chopsticks made of stainless steel. Both China and Japan have the habit of eating with rice bowls, but Koreans think this behavior is not standardized. And don't touch your job with your mouth. A bowl with a lid and a round bottom? Sitting? On the table, there is no handle for you to hold. Coupled with the heat from the rice to the bowl, it is reasonable not to touch it. As for the bowl cover, you can take it off and put it on the table at will.

The first is sitting posture. There are two internal structures of Korean restaurants: using chairs and taking off shoes to get on the kang. When eating on the kang and wearing hanbok, men sit cross-legged and women stand on their right knees. When wearing casual clothes, just put your legs together and sit down.

Then there is the order of eating in Korea: the right hand must first pick up the spoon and take a sip of kimchi soup, then take a bite of rice with the spoon, then take a sip of soup and rice, and then you can eat whatever you want.

Don't let spoons and chopsticks touch the bowl and make noise. Chopsticks: It is only responsible for serving dishes.

Two chopsticks should be together, two thirds on the table and one third outside the table. Spoon: It is more important than chopsticks in Korean diet. It is responsible for filling soup, fishing for soup dishes and filling rice. Put it on a rice bowl or other utensils when not in use.

On wine ceremony: if the two sides meet for the first time, they need to hold each other's elbow with one hand to pour wine for each other; But if the other person is an elder, you must hold the bottom of the bottle in one hand and pour the wine. When drinking, people with different status clink glasses together. People with lower status should hold the cup lower, touch each other's cup body with the edge of the cup, and don't touch it horizontally, let alone hold the cup higher than each other, otherwise it is impolite.

Since you're running amok, your left hand must be obedient and honestly hidden under the table, not on the table? Show me your hand? . The right hand must first pick up the spoon, take a sip of soup from pickles, then take a bite of rice with the spoon, and then take another bite of soup and rice, and then you can eat whatever you want. This is the order in which Koreans eat. Spoons are more important than chopsticks in Korean diet. They are responsible for filling soup, fishing for soup dishes and filling rice. When not in use, put it on a rice bowl or other utensils. And chopsticks? It is only responsible for picking vegetables. Under no circumstances can you take bean sprouts out of your soup bowl with a spoon, and you can't use chopsticks. First of all, there is the problem of food ceremony, and secondly, soup may flow down the chopsticks to the table. When chopsticks don't hold vegetables, the traditional practice of Koreans is to put them on the table in the right hand direction, with two chopsticks close together, two-thirds on the table and one-third outside the table, which is for the convenience of picking them up and using them again.

For example, pouring wine, South Korean boss Mr. Quan said: When the two sides meet for the first time, they need to hold each other's elbow with one hand to pour wine for each other; When the two parties are familiar with each other, they can pour wine for each other in one hand, but if the other party is an elder, they must hold the low end of the bottle in one hand and pour wine. Besides, there are some? Precautions? , such as:
