The Japanese eat with chopsticks, called hashi, and rice is served at every meal. The Japanese eat a lot of fish, prepared in a variety of ways: broiled, marinated or … raw. Sliced raw fish is called sashimi, whereas raw fish on top of rice balls is called sushi.
NOWADAYS, JAPANESE FAMILIES EAT MORE OFTEN IN THE KITCHEN OR IN THE DINING ROOM, SEATED ON CHAIRS. BUT YOU STILL FIND MEALS SERVED TRADITIONALLY, ON LOW TABLES WITH PEOPLE SEATED ON TATAMI (MATS MADE OF RICE STRAW WHICH ARE THE TRADITIONAL FLOOR COVERING IN JAPANESE HOUSES).
