Are you serious?

Hey this is cool and some great tips for Japan,
For Korea though the rules are a little different. The main point here is to see the actuall technique for dipping and eating the sushi. Few people know the etticate of turning over to dip the raw meat first. In Korea chopsticks are used for the whole process not the fingers and I was suprised to see the wasabi not being mixed with the soy sauce which is also done in Japan.

I always thought you held up three fingers for a group of two. Golly gee, was I ever wrong.

in korea you must hold your rice bowl cupped in your palm.

Umm...

Didn't anyone other than ajgeddes pick up on the fact that they're taking the p*ss with this???

Let me see if I got all the important points ...

Its necessary to say "ma ma ma ma ma" when pouring a drink.

You get served sushi on wooden sandals that make your feet smell of vinegar when you wear them home.

There's a bowl of salt kept by the door so you can tuck in on your way out.

Those Japs they're so craazee...

I hope you guys realise that the video is largely tongue in cheek (though otototo and mamama is true).

Lol... love how that video begins like serious stuff and then becomes more and more hilarious. Some random details are actually right though. As for the ending with the salt, I've seen (drunk) real life japanese do more or less that.

i loved that video. it was nice to see a country that doesnt take itself too seriously for a change and has a bit of humor about (GASP!) its own culture.

Still waiting for Bud Light's "Nagafuki Surprise" tv ad to make to their website...

If you haven't seen that ad, it features a guy reading a menu in a Japanese restaurant. He inquires what the Nagafuki Surprise is; the waitress only tells him it comes with a Bud Light. That's enough argument for him. He boasts to the ladies at the table, "I've been to Japan," does a karate chop move, then adds, "Can't surprise me!" The meal arrives, and it looks something like the main course above. [Actually, it looks a lot like an enormous piece of kimbap with a few dangly buts sticking up out of it -BSJ] He picks it up with chopsticks, but suddenly something like a hybrid between a starfish and an octopus jumps out and latches onto his face. The restaurant staff, watching eagerly, then shout "Surprise!"

The guy tilts his head and we hear him mumble, "Tastes kinda funny." To which the waitress responds, "It lay eggs now. Enjoy!"

as well, in korea the spoon is seldom used, but when it is it should be gripped using the 삽 technique.

There's also a great video of a Japanese going home and explaining to a woman about the crazy stuff they've convinced westerners to do.. we make them eat with these two little sticks! and take their shoes off their stinky feet!
