Check the table-manners card — Japan · Cuisine World
A visitors' card at a Kyoto restaurant explains Japanese table manners. Cuisine World game on MyLeoNes for ages 8–17; simulated recipes.
Your task
Tap every line that is wrong or unsafe.
- In Japan some chopstick habits are linked to funerals, so they are avoided at the table.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
