Japanese Lamian Noodles Etiquette and Lamian Noodles Culture.

In recent years, in addition to the well-known Yilan Ramen Restaurant, other famous Japanese ramen restaurants, such as Wu Mian Yideng Ramen Restaurant, Tunjing Ramen Restaurant, NAGI Restaurant and Ryukyu New Noodle Restaurant, have all come to Taiwan to settle down. There is a "ramen fever" in Taiwan Province, and you can taste authentic Japanese ramen restaurants without flying to Japan. Lamian Noodles is a kind of "Japanese national cuisine", which contains a lot of Japanese food culture and etiquette. This time I have sorted out the key points of entry level, so let's learn about Lamian Noodles culture!

What are the precautions of Japanese Lamian Noodles culture? 1. Tip: Know La's good friends before you know La!

When Japanese people enjoy Lamian Noodles, they often use "side dishes". The most common good friend in Lamian Noodles is "Japanese fried dumplings". It can even be said that fried dumplings have played an important role in the Japanese Lamian Noodles. If fried dumplings are delicious, they will also add points to Lamian Noodles's stores!

Besides fried dumplings, they are often eaten with "rice" or "fried rice". Some eating methods will finish Lamian Noodles, leave some soup base and add boiled rice. This way of eating is called "Lamian Noodles Rice". Every place in Japan has its own special way of eating. For example, in Wakayama's Lamian Noodles restaurant, boiled eggs are always accompanied by the local cuisine "mackerel with sushi".

For the Japanese, fried dumplings are a perfect side dish, and if the fried dumplings in Lamian Noodles shop are delicious, you will get extra points!

2. Lamian Noodles store used to be the domain of men or laborers.

In the past, most Japanese Lamian Noodles stores were small in space, located under viaducts, alleys or roadside. Customers are generally bottom-level workers or men, and single women rarely go to eat. On the one hand, Japanese women pay great attention to their own image, and eating in a Lamian Noodles restaurant is "not elegant enough", so it is easy to feel embarrassed when eating alone. On the one hand, Japan, a conservative society in the past, believes that it is "unseemly" for women to come to such occasions, and the seats are narrow, so it is easy to touch and collide with others, which is "inappropriate".

Now, with the evolution of the times, the conservative concept has gradually loosened, and it is very common for women to go out to eat alone. The positioning of Lamian Noodles store has gradually changed, and the store decoration is more comfortable. More and more women or families are willing to patronize; There are also Lamian Noodles stores that follow the example of "Yilan Lamian Noodles" and design the layout of the store as a personal compartment, so that customers can keep their privacy when dining, and single women can also eat with peace of mind.

In the past, Lamian Noodles store was actually the exclusive resting place for men or the people at the bottom, and women seldom ate here.

3. Is it true that you must make a sound when eating Lamian Noodles?

Whether you are a Japanese fan or not, you must be tired of asking this question. It is often heard that eating Lamian Noodles in Japan will make a sound to represent delicacy, admire the skills of Master Lamian Noodles, and appreciate the performance of food. It is impolite to eat quietly. In fact, in today's international society, there is no such rigid rule in cultural exchanges between countries. Just let nature take its course. If you really want to express your admiration or gratitude, you might as well say "thank you for your hospitality" to your host before you leave!

4. It is a courtesy to finish the soup?

The essence and labor-consuming place of Japanese Lamian Noodles is the soup head, which is also the difference between Lamian Noodles in different places. It can be said that "Tangtou is the soul of Lamian Noodles", so there has always been a saying that "Japanese people regard drinking Tangtou as a respect for Master Lamian Noodles". But in fact, the soup in Japanese Lamian Noodles tastes partial, and it is often served with plain rice or side dishes. Some Japanese local cultures even think that some soup bases must be left to show "generosity".

How to eat Lamian Noodles without being rude?

5. Why do Japanese Lamian Noodles always have a small amount of original noodles, and always add some "Daiyu"?

"Daiyu" means "adding noodles" in Japanese. In an authentic Lamian Noodles store, the original quantity of noodles is not too much, about 120g. Because Lamian Noodles is easy to soak, which affects the taste, exquisite shops will suggest or take the initiative to ask customers whether they need to "substitute jade" so that customers can enjoy noodles with moderate hardness. In addition, I would like to remind you that Lamian Noodles Store only provides noodle-adding service, and most soup-adding services require extra charge. Don't drink all the soup before adding noodles!

6. Not only in Lamian Noodles, why do Japanese restaurants often serve only ice water?

When Japanese eat Lamian Noodles, they usually mix it with ice water to relieve the rich soup flavor. In fact, Japanese restaurants generally only serve ice water out of respect for customers. It is not easy to get ice in the early days. Ice water is usually only used to entertain distinguished guests, which is more respectful than normal temperature water and hot tea. So far, the store believes that entertaining guests with ice water can better express the intention of "distinguished guests", even in winter. People who are afraid of the cold need not worry. In winter, almost all Japanese shops turn on the heating. If you really want to drink hot drinks, it is recommended to use hot drinks in the store. After all, most Japanese shops don't prepare warm water, and compulsory provision will also cause a little trouble.

Not only in Lamian Noodles, why do Japanese restaurants often serve only ice water?

7. Chopsticks have special rules for use and rest.

In most eastern societies, inserting chopsticks directly into food is an act of disrespect or worship for the dead. Japanese people don't like to put chopsticks flat on the bowl, and many elders will think it is impolite. They usually rest their chopsticks on the chopsticks rack. In addition, don't pass food to each other with chopsticks, but put it in each other's container for food, so as not to be rude.

Like China, Japanese people have special rules for using and placing chopsticks.

If you know the above seven basic Japanese Lamian Noodles cultures, you can eat more carefully next time, whether in Japan or in Lamian Noodles store in China. Let's enjoy the charm of Japanese food culture together!
