Unlike many other table manners around the globe, slurping your noodles is considered polite in Japan! When you eat soba, making a loud “slurp” helps you enjoy the rich smell of buckwheat. As you draw in air with the noodles, the tasty aroma fills your mouth and nose. It also shows the chef that you enjoy the meal. So don’t be shy! Slurping is a fun and delicious way to enjoy a bowl of Japanese soba.
