“Hi everyone my wife is freaking out that she can not use chopsticks to eat her food when we go to restaurants ,do they have another option can you ask for a knife and fork. Thanks.”

Absolutely, you can ask for a spoon and fork at most restaurants in Japan, no problem! It’s pretty normal, especially for little ones who haven’t mastered chopsticks yet. Plus, did you know that it’s actually totally fine to eat sushi with your hands? Pretty cool, right? And if you’re ever in a pinch, just swing by a convenience store. They usually have plastic forks you can grab and keep with you, just in case. So, don’t worry about it and enjoy your meal just the way you like it!
