Should you leave the food that was served?
I think eating all the food you're served is common etiquette in Japan.
It is a sign of gratitude to the creator and a wasteful spirit.
However, in some countries, it is considered rude to eat everything.
In this day and age where food waste is becoming a problem, I think the Japanese style of "Eating everything" is in keeping with the times.
Am I the only one who thinks this is more of an environmental issue than good etiquette?
