Don't they say "itadakimasu" in China?🇨🇳🇯🇵
In Japan, before you start eating.
"Let's eat!"
It's common to say that.
So what about in China?
When trying to translate "itadakimasu" into Chinese, it is sometimes introduced as "kāi fàn le."
But actually, "Kanrei!" is a little different from "itadakimasu" in Japanese,
"It's rice!"
"Come on, let's eat!"
An expression close to the meaning.
In China, there is basically no fixed word that everyone always says before a meal, like "itadakimasu" in Japan.
It's a common custom for Japanese people, so it's interesting to know these differences ♪
At the "Gyoza Making from Skin Exchange Meeting," students from China make gyoza from the skin and interact with each other, so they can notice these differences in everyday culture between Japan and China through casual conversations 🥟
Of course, there are differences in gyoza culture.
In northeastern China, boiled dumplings are very familiar.
In Japan, fried dumplings are common, but in China, there are many areas where boiled dumplings are often eaten, and the remaining boiled dumplings are sometimes baked and eaten the next day.
Also, since China is very large, the feeling of gyoza varies from region to region.
There are differences in the frequency and position of eating gyoza between the northeastern region of China and the southern region.
You can experience these cultural differences between Japan and China while actually interacting with people, which is also the charm of "gyoza exchange made from skin 🥟"
If you are interested in international exchange and making dumplings from the skin, please join us ☆

中国での食事マナーや習慣を実際に体験してみると、その文化の多様性に驚かされます。例えば、日本で当たり前の「いただきます」という挨拶は、中国では使われず、代わりに「开饭了！」と言うことがありますが、これは正確には「さあ、ご飯を食べよう」という意味です。 私自身、中国の留学生と一緒に餃子を作る交流会に参加した際、彼らが食事の前に特定の言葉を言わないことに気づきました。最初は少し不思議に感じましたが、それが中国の自然な食事のスタイルであると知り、文化の違いを楽しむきっかけになりました。 また、中国はとても広い国なので、餃子の食べ方も地域によって大きな違いがあります。日本では焼き餃子が一般的ですが、中国東北地方では水餃子が好まれており、残ったものを翌日焼いて食べる習慣もあります。こうした地域ごとの餃子の楽しみ方を知ると、食文化の奥深さを実感できます。 中国人との交流を通じ、食事の仕方や言葉の使い方の違いを身近に感じられるのが、この餃子交流会の魅力です。参加者同士が自然に会 話し、文化体験が深まる中で、相手の価値観や習慣を尊重し合うことの大切さも学べました。 これからも文化交流の機会を通じて、食の多様性や日中の文化の違いを広く知ってもらえるよう、ぜひ多くの方に参加していただきたいと思います。皮から自分で作る餃子は、一緒に作る楽しさだけでなく、文化の橋渡しにもなっています。
