Slurp høyt, det er høflig
In Japan, slurping your noodles loudly is not rude, it is a sign that you are enjoying the meal.

Mange steder er det uhøflig å slurpe høyt i maten. I Japan er det faktisk høflig å slurpe når du spiser nudler.
Det er gode grunner til det. Slurpingen trekker inn luft sammen med nudlene, og det kjøler ned varm buljong fort. Den fører også mer lukt og smak opp til nesa mens du spiser, litt som når folk lukter på vin før de smaker. Høy slurping kan til og med fortelle kokken at du liker maten.
Vanen begynte for lenge siden, da nudler var rask gatemat og folk spiste fort mens de sto. Neste gang du spiser nudler et slikt sted, kan du prøve selv. Litt lyd er ikke dårlig bordskikk her. Det er en kompliment.
That's the story.
