食事の礼儀：「いただきます」、「ご馳走様」、「お粗末さま」(Meal Manners: "Itadakimasu", "Gochisousama", "Osomatsusama")

日本人にとって、礼儀はとても大切。食事の前、「いただきます」と言う。食事の後、「ご馳走様（ごちそうさま）」と言う。ありがとうの気持ちを伝う。それで、料理を作った人は何というかしら。「お粗末さま（おそまつさま）」と言う。それは、この食事はたいしたことじゃなくて、地味な料理だけと伝えたい。面白い！！

(For Japanese, meal manners are very important. Before a meal, they will say "Itadakimasu". After a meal, it will be "Gochisousama". It will be passing a message with thankful feeling. What about the person who is cooking the meal? What will they say? It will be "Osomatsusama". This will be to say that this meal is plain and not of a big deal. Interesting!!)

Let's Eat!

Thanks for the meal.
