Wondering what type of seaweed this is? I was too scared to ask the waiter 😅

1. It’s thinly shaved konbu (kelp). It’s called oboro konbu (or sometimes kezuri konbu) in Japanese.

2. You have your answer but I’d just want you to know yo NEVER be afraid to ask.

   People will usually love to answer and tell you.

3. That’s just what happens to customers who ask the wrong questions to the wrong waiters

4. Yes, some waiters can be jerks, but that’s on them, not you. When a waiter starts at a restaurant or when a new dish is put on the menu the chef describes the dish to the staff and has them taste it so that they can explain it to the customers. It’s helpful to chat up the staff a little bit if they’re not too busy as it will help give you an idea of what’s a good on the menu.

5. Was it tasty ?

6. Also called battera kombu. Seaweed

7. Too scared to ask a waiter what’s in your food?
