Clean your face with Oshibori
In most Japanese restaurants, it is common to provide customers with a wet napkin or cloth called “Oshibori”. Additionally, these napkins are mainly used for washing hands before eating and are usually found in a corner of the table.
However, it is important to note that in Japanese culture, these towels are specifically intended for use on the hands and should not be used to wipe the face or for any other personal purpose. Therefore, it is considered inappropriate and in some cases can even be considered rude. To respect local rules and customs when visiting restaurants in Japan, it is essential to use “Oshibori” for its intended purpose, which is washing hands before eating.
