すする:SUSURU;to Slurp

I know it is rude to slurp something in western table manner. And I also feel slurping is not smart way to eat something.

However, slurping is a basic technique like as using chopsticks in Japan. It is actually "vacuum eating" just like as the vacuum cleaner.

With slurping, we can drink very hot tea before it gets colder by making the tea into mist. Also, you can enjoy the flavor of the soup mist going through the mouse to your nose.

And I know, I know, I know, it is not smart.

I try to stop slurping in western style restaurant in Japan and every chances at over sea.
