For example, I’m a white Jewish guy but I’ve adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

    I heard Koreans use metal chopsticks and bought pack home. Took some time to learn how to use those but so much easier when I can put those in dishwasher.

            Yes there are several things I like:

            • Long handles prevent the part you actually hold from getting hot and they don’t fall into the bowl as often when you’re eating soup from a bigger bowl.
            • The length also allows you to reach things further away when eating family style meals.
            • The bowl shape is optimized for eating soup & rice. At the same time, bowl is not too deep that it is uncomfortable to eat non-soupy things.
            • Being metal lets you use the spoon to cut and scrape things, ceramic spoons are harder to use for that purpose because they’re typically thicker and more rounded.
