Found there are a few Facebook groups for Japanese cooking.  I have just joined one, pending approval.  There are some interesting rules for the group.  One states that it is rude and disrespectful to show photos of your efforts with chopsticks stuck in the food, or crossed over your bowl/plate.  Posts that break this rule are removed and you have to brush up on your chopstick etiquette, and then resubmit.  Good to know.

Chopsticks stuck into a bowl of food mimics the incense sticks planted in containers of the ashes of deceased people. I learned a bunch of that kind of thing before traveling to Japan.
Show us your ramen, Rob!

It seems my joining the group is still pending.  Guess I should be OK sticking one of my posh forks in the food.  Watched that YouTube link you posted Robbo.  Very nice and some clever stuff going on.  Will investigate his recipes further.

Now that is interesting.  We have one of those containers at home on the family shrine (my wife being Chinese/Vietnamese) but the ashes that it contains are volcanic ashes, not the ashes of her/our ancestors, and these are replaced or topped up on an annual basis ...

Also passing food via chopsticks between people is a big no-no. Mimics the passing of residual bones from said ashes via chopsticks between family members.
It’s funny but I never think of just plonking chopsticks into a bowl of rice and leaving them standing but recently I had a client at lunch do exactly that and was a bit worried about sounding smug about advising him not to…
“I was in Japan recently…..”

Got approved yesterday on Facebook's Japanese Cooking page!  It's taken a while.  Reckon membership must be fairly exclusive, like on here.  Lovely stuff. Seared salmon, tuna nigiri 🍣  炙りとろ was the first thing.  Wow!

Exclusive is certainly one word to describe it  :mute: :angry:

Congrats on the membership though. Will you be able to share recipes here?

I don't think so.  Limited to sharing with Facebook friends.  Some of the "top contributors" give links to their own websites though.  Early days, but I am not seeing much in the way of in depth discussion on recipes, which is a drawback and fairly typical for several Facebook groups, it seems.
