just eat it
well it’s seen as disrespectful to not follow the proper etiquette in Japan. Like if you’re at home or smthn then sure eat it whatever you want but it’s disrespectful to eat it wrong in front of Japanese people. You could get kicked out of Japanese restaurants for no following their rules, I’m just saying.
So like if you ever go to a Japanese place then learn proper etiquette. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter.
