Eat with chopsticks using a spoon (Chiri-renge, or lotus flower scattered by its shape) Taste in broth with the spoon Lightly mix the broth and ingredients, especially the seaweed to take advantage of its umami and accommodate the noodles The noodles should not be cut, so the noodles are usually slurped making noise. If you find this uncomfortable, you can use a spoon to serve a smaller portion. To change things up, there are various toppings to suit your taste. The broth can be taken directly from the bowl once you've started eating the dish. All of this is for quick consumption, preventing the noodles from stretching and the broth from cooling down. It's perfectly acceptable to slurp, lift the bowl to drink, or leave any broth unused. Adding seasonings is recommended once you've started eating the dish, as your palate will adjust over time. No added salt is used beyond what's naturally present in the ingredients to highlight their flavors. If you usually add salt to your food, you can let us know so it's prepared that way. The same goes for spices. Since it's subjective and depends on individual tolerance, you can add them to your liking at the table.
