If you are in Japan and you want to eat in a local restaurant, you have to be very careful with the manners. You can't nail the chopsticks in the rice bowl, because it's a funeral rite. Also, changing food from a stick to another is impolite to, so, if we want to give some of food to a friend, we have to put it in a dish. If we don't have cutlery for serve, it's polite to use the upper part of chopsticks (that one which does not touch the mouth) for serving ourselves and maintain the food "clean".
