Does anyone here remember in the 90s that nice sushi places started you off with a hot towel to wope your face and hands before the meal?
That was always so refreshing. I wish more places still did that.

Some authentic places still do that, depending on the family that runs the place.

I think for particularly large pieces of sushi, you can finish it in two bites if it won't fit in your mouth whole. That said, yeah, you keep the other piece in your fingers or chopsticks, and finish it once the first bite is done. That's more of an issue outside of Japan, though, as most Japanese chefs should make their sushi bite-sized.

Still got that in a more high-end price range expat Japanese restaurant.

I wouldn't be surprised if they still did that in various midrange and up restaurants in Japan, too.

Also still happening in various airlines.

Arguably, you could DIY Oshibori for yourself if you more generally just miss these. Ya, if it's not a restaurant service that may be less perfect, but it's not like it's a bad activity to get one of these + coffee at a break at work.

wow I've broken literally every single one of these rules as a habit and I've never had my rice spontaneously explode upon contact with the soy sauce

maybe because I lightly dab the corner in so I can still taste the sushi instead of submerging it in half an inch of soy sauce that i shouldn't have poured because it will just be discarded leftover

More Japanese were living in the United States in the 90s compared to now.

Chinese and Korean owners just don't care about the fake Japanese food they are serving to you.

It's usually beyond boiling hot. They should be steaming hot, even superheated steam hot, so they arrive warm enough to be steaming when opened.

Google "hot towel machine" and towel scent to see where this is a pretty common thing.

I think on airlines, where I've had them all my life in First and Business, they are usually scented with lemon verbena most of the time. I find in restaurants with ribs, you'll get the packeted paper hot towels for end of meal most of the time. I've seen cold towels offered post-tennis, post-golf in resorts, when you turn in your keys or something, especially if there is a restaurant to relax in afterwards. It's refreshing.

We used to go to this (Moroccan?) place where they would pour warm rosewater scented water from a pitcher way above our heads over our hands outstretched over a big copper bowl.
Then, rolled towels.
>>
>>8031961
This.

I live in Japan, and pretty much all restaurants do the towel thing, it's wonderful. 90% of American Japanese restaurants are owned by Koreans or Chinese, and are fake as fuck.

Did a study abroad in Japan, we had a food class. There was a presentation on Japanese food etiquette for fine dining. Lady comes in and explains tons of esoteric etiquette. The class was horrified, so the regular teacher, a very old and classy gentleman, stepped forward to give his thoughts.

"I am amazed and embarrassed to hear all these things" and then "I did not know that it was strange to mix wasabi with soy sauce, I always do it when I eat." He used this set phrase several times, with various pedantic customs. He managed to tell the class that all that difficult etiquette was not normal, even for an old person. And he did it without insulting the guest teacher. All in a language he barely spoke.

That fucker had class.

Basically all this stuff is practiced by a few nerds in Japan, and is preached to the west as the way Japan does it. Sure, if you are eating with the emperor, or the president of your company, do this shit, but otherwise literally nobody gives a fuck.

The one real rule of eating in Japan is to not be the loud guy that everybody else stares at.

It doesn't vary from place to place. You're just being a twat.

Hot towels:

- at the restaurant : for your hands (because you still don't wash your hands enough anon).
- at the hairdresser : for your face (because chances are there are little pieces of hair everywhere and thus will allow you to remove them).

Could anyone enlighten me as to why they felt the need to wash their face before eating a meal in a public place ?
