Srči glasno, to je pristojno

Na mnogim mjestima glasno srkanje hrane je nepristojno. U Japanu je srkanje rezanaca zapravo pristojno.

Za to postoje dobri razlozi. Srkanjem s rezancima uvlačiš i zrak, što brzo hladi vrelu juhu. Time do nosa dolazi više mirisa i okusa dok jedeš, slično kao kad ljudi omirišu vino prije kušanja. Glasno srkanje kuharu čak može reći da ti je jelo dobro.

Navika je nastala davno, kad su rezanci bili brza ulična hrana i ljudi su jeli na brzinu, stojeći. Kad sljedeći put jedeš rezance na takvom mjestu, probaj i ti. Malo buke ovdje nije loše ponašanje. To je kompliment.
