Who usually prepares the meals in your house?

I usually prepares the meals. I like cooking.

How about you?

 

Do you usually eat alone or with others?

I eat breakfast with partner, lunch alone, and dinner from time to time.

 

Are good table manners important to you?

I don't care that much about table manners.

But the use of chopsticks is Japanese, so it may seem harsh from a foreigner's point of view.

For example, do not stick your chopsticks into the rice.
