  1. Why is the roll so tiny?
  2. Why are you holding the chopsticks at the wrong end?

This is going to keep me up tonight.

  1. I made him a tiny roll for his birthday
  2. idk there was a right and wrong end with disposable chopsticks. I always assumed just switch end when grabbing from a communal plate and eating from your own. In this case there was a human side and a cat side.
  3. He also got some nigiri

Im not the person you were replying too and I assumed you were using the backend in the photo because you were feeding a cat. But I've only ever seen people eat using the end that isn't connected when you first open disposable chopsticks (or the pointy end if using non disposable). Thats why they are shaped differently. I didnt realize people used both ends. Do you not use a spoon or tongs to move food from communal plates? You just flip your chopsticks once you've moved the food and there's never sauce or anything that runs down them? Sorry for all the questions I'm just fascinated with the idea.

Sorry to disappoint but I’ve never really put much thought into it. I know I’ve heard it a couple times from different circles and didn’t come up with it on my own. To be completely honest I don’t even follow it strictly unless with people I don’t really know. But yeah 100% not sharing the same end as the cat though..I’ve seen where that tongue has been lol

That is so cute! I was really excited the first time I tried to share some sashimi with my cat, but she turned her nose up at it
