Why do they do this in Japan? It makes me never want to go back.
>>
why do you care so much?

Everybody cares about 日本

Slurping is disgusting, not to mention it flings droplets everywhere. They should be a bit more thoughtful of foreigners.
>>
>>21675431
>Slurping is disgusting
to you

>>21675398
At some point they latched on to it as "something we do" and just rationalized it from there. Some of them get very rankled when that fact is put to them.

That said, most Japanese living/visiting elsewhere eventually learn that their exaggerated slurping is considered extremely rude and try to stop doing it.
>>
>>21675398
Politeness is just bending to the social norms. Not standing out is just doing the same thing as everyone else. Slurping is not at odds with either of these inherently.
>>
>>21675416
Because we are supposed to be human beings and behave accordingly. Noisy eaters should be thrown in a concentration camp and be used as fuel to warm up homes all around the world.

>Why do they do this in Japan? It makes me never want to go back.
too shy to verbally compliment the chef
showing desire for the food they shed their normal quiet demeanor for loud slurping to show their pleasure
>>
>>21675431
>They should be a bit more thoughtful of foreigners.
The only thing they should do to foreigners is dump them from the plane straight into a pit of fire
>>
>>21676591
and this is why japan will cease to exist in 100 years
>>
>>21675398
you are expected, and encouraged to slurp in asian countries, they think your weird for not doing it.
>>
>>21675431
>They should be a bit more thoughtful of foreigners.
you're in their country. fuck off.
>>
>>21675398
>it makes me never want to go back
Then their work here is done

My wife Irys says the slurping thing is bullshit and no one actually does that
>>
>>21676591
the logistics of this would stress the economy
>>
>>21675398
it enhances the flavour of whatever broth the noodles are dipped in
i know there's an episode of Japanology (featuring experienced broadcaster Peter Barakan) where they explain this. they even have a scientist on that has tried to figure out why it tastes better
i couldnt find the episode in YT for you, but the gist is that when your mouth is full of food, you usually breathe with your nose -> slurping will let you sniff the broth again while making that first outlet of air
>>
>>21675398
Those are Koreans, though.
>>
My wife Pingpong says the slurping thing is real and if you don't do that you get exiled for eternity to the mountains of Nakadashiyama
>>
>>21676705
This.... Japanese can handle their country however they want.. So many f**king entitled foreigners think, they can just go to Japan and show no f**king respect for anyone or their culture......
>>
Noodles are for the poor unwashed. Educated nihoninjas eat sushī, where there is no slurping to be performed.
>>
>>21675398
Picture looks like the equivalent of the stand up coffee bar in Italy, where you pay more if you wanted to sit down. People dining haven't even removed a backpack, so they are in a rush to get it down and on their way.
>>
>>21675398
chingchong pingpong >_<
>>
>>21676705
Japan belongs to America, retard. They should be thankful we allow them to larp as an independent country.
>>
Chinese are worse. Don't go to a restaurant frequented by old Chinese people if you're easily grossed out.
>>
it's so easy to not go back to japan
billions of us are doing it right now

Why is slurping bad manners in your country but restaurants extorting customers for tips is not?

Sovl

I think they just sorta all made a silent agreement to slurp due to their busy lifestyles.
A wholesome element of a high trust, culturally homogeneous society.
>>
>>21676591
You're 40 years too late for this mindset, Japan now must open its mouth and kneel to foreigners to drive gokarts through their streets because their country is aging out and they've done nothing useful about it.
>>
>>21675398
reminder for full enjoyment
people slurp coffee and wine for aeration

America doesn't even belong to America.

>>21676202
killing people for being noisy eaters is subhuman behavior
get in my gas tank
>>
>>21675398
the sound of slurping is the worst
>>
>>21679379
Sir, this is an american phenomenon.
>>
>>21675398
Do they also do the Chink thing of insisting on loud smacking, chewing with your mouth open, taking weird retarded breaths, farting, shitting, and belching because it's "polite"
