Why are there no napkins in Japan? Sometimes I get the wet towels, but not always, and they don’t feel like they are to use the whole time just at the beginning to clean your hands and may time I don’t even get that. I am just curious, are people here such good eaters that they don’t get dirty? Because even eating like ramen I just feel like somethings are inevitably a bit messy, and I’m not sure what to do. People also seem a bit offended when I ask for paper or a sort of napkin.
