In contrast, it is considered a breach of etiquette to lean forward over one's plate and let your mouth 'go fetch' foods such as boiled rice and miso soup without holding a china bowl (for boiled rice) or a wooden bowl (for miso soup or else).
逆にご飯茶碗や味噌汁の椀などを手で持たずに食べたり、皿に身を乗り出して口が料理を「迎えに行く」ことが無作法とされる。
