an bowl with chopsticks is not polite.

If you eat with Japanese friends in their homes, there are some rules you are supposed to follow. No need (be) nervous. After all, your hosts understand that you may not know the table manners in Japan.

First, it is (importance) to know how to use chopsticks. You should start by lifting the chopsticks with both hands. Always keep in mind that chopsticks are used eating, so don't play with them. They also can't be used to point at the dishes that you think are delicious. most important rule is that do not suck your chopsticks vertically(垂直地) into a bowl of rice. This is only done you are offering food to the dead.

There are other Japanese table manner sty (expect) to follow. When drinking soup, you can have it from the bowl (direct). Don't be surprised to hear noises from around the table. Different from western (country), making noises while drinking soup shows that you are enjoying the meal. Finally, make sure you finish all the (serve) food on your plate. It's considered bad manners if you don't.

(know) these table manners will make you a polite person. And your Japanese friends must be happy to see you try to learn their customs.
