Re: Chinese/Japanese way of eating soup?



I ran into a recent experience where everyone was going ga-ga over my
tea blossoms. I was down to a few so I put a couple in a big soup
bowl with boiling water and everyone used spoons. It was a spur of
the moment inspiration and a big hit.

Hi, I have a friend who says that in China/Japan the appropriate way to
eat/drink soup (eg, miso soup) is to take the bowl in one hand, tip it and
drink from it while simultaneously using the chopsticks in your right hand
to sort of.. shovel.. the chunkier bits into your mouth.

He says the big spoons that are used in Western Asian restaurants are not
used in the East.

Can anybody corroborate this?
