>>2767147I get so paranoid when I eat with my Japanese acquaintances. Some etiquette they observe almost religiously, others they don't seem to have heard of. Like not stirring wasabi into soy sauce. All the Japanese people I've eaten with have very carefully mixed wasabi into their little dishes of soy sauce, and I'd be like, "Shit, that's not what the sushi guides say!" while nervously thinking if I'm going to make a fool out of myself.
