Where are you supposed to put your chopsticks if you don’t have a chopstick rest? I thought it was OK to put your chopsticks on the bowl but off to the side.

if ur using disposable chopsticks, do some origami with the paper wrapping and make ur own chopstick rest.

It is – just line up the chopsticks nicely together (not with like an inch of space between them).

Googled this watashi-bashi:
“While in a casual setting, you might rest your chopsticks across the top of a bowl like a bridge (watashi-bashi), this is actually considered unrefined so you should refrain from doing it on more formal occasions.”
In a formal setting, you would have chopstick rests. So no need to worry

It is okay, nobody would care unless you’re with super uptight people.

Honestly, in situations where you shouldn’t do this, it’s going to be considered even worse to blurt out a criticism like in that pic.
That said,
* If you’re given a chopstick rest, use it. * If you’re given chopsticks with a paper wrapping and no rest, fold the wrapper neatly into a rest. * If you’re not given any of those options, rest it against the edge of the lowest dish on the right side of your place setting, or put them on your napkin.

Just don’t pass food between chopsticks like a heathen and I think you’ll be ok 😂

As long as you don’t leave your chopsticks in the bowl or something like that no one cares.
If you do leave your chopsticks in a bowl then well my friend, you are a no good barbarian.

Put your chopsticks where ever you want, Nobody cares! I love it that everyone thinks they are going to get “yelled at” for some inconsequential shit in Japan! No one here cares! We don’t care!
