Ramen counter etiquette
Follow seating instructions, keep luggage clear and ask before photographs.
At the counter
- Wait for staff to direct you to a seat.
- Keep bags out of walkways and neighboring places.
- Use the shop’s water and utensil setup as directed.
- Ask before photographing people or the shop.
- Finish at your own pace, then make room for the next guest.
お水をお願いします。
Some water, please.
ごちそうさまでした。
Thank you for the meal.
Ask rather than imitate
Do not copy a regular customer’s topping call without knowing the portion. No universal rule requires drinking every drop of soup.
