“Before you devour sushi like a starving ninja or bow down to ramen like it’s holy treasure, remember the magic words: Itadakimasu (a polite ‘let’s eat!’) and Gochisousama deshita (a classy ‘thanks for the feast!’). Two tiny phrases that turn slurping noodles into an act of cultural respect. Join me as we laugh, bow, and maybe cry (mostly from wasabi) while exploring the beautiful Japanese tradition of eating with gratitude.”
