Yes, in Japan it is bad manners, although some people do it.
I see it a lot more "whities" doing it because they've heard (on internet forums?) that that's what Japanese/azns do. If you break your chopsticks and see a splinter, pick it off. That whole rubbing it together thing looks ridiculous and marks you as some tourist whose read a guidebook.

I've noticed that too. Seems like there are quite a few Asians who will eat the local food a few times but must eat rice for most meals.I've known many Asian Asians (real Asians, from Asia) who are terrified of not being able to find food they're comfortable with when they travel. A lot of tour groups from Taiwan and China that come to the U.S. attract customers by promising to serve only Chinese food during their tours. So, it doesn't surprise me some Asians would travel with their own chopsticks.
I really had no idea... I mean, I've seen Morimoto and Anita Lo do this... not to mention many other fairly cultured asian people. Again, this would be at pretty folky kind of mom and pop places where they're giving you 2 cent chop sticks.
but he's not a particularly good Japanese chef or well cultured as far as Japanese are concerned.
A) That is complete, utter bullshit.
B) Japanese people revere far, far, far less skilled chefs than him so perhaps their opinions should be ignored if what you say is true.
b) I guess it depends on what type of skill. He knows (and admits) he's not that good skill-wise (I am not saying he is bad either),
but very good at presenting Japanese food in a way that is tastes good to Americans. I've heard him say that Americans have dumb palates, so all you have to do is make the food a bit sweet (and I agree ).
Umm, I'm sorry, but your entire post is total bullshit. And especially about the bolded area, how the **** would you know? Seriously, what do you know about food that most of the western world, and many Japanese people don't?
my girlfriend has eaten at Morimoto's in Philly and she can't say enough bad things about him. I'd say she shares the same opinion as Dragon, but probably worse.
buy a set of wooden unfinished japanese chopsticks and a set of bamboo chinese chopsticks. pretty much all you need.
even though it is bad manners, nobody really cares if you rub your disposable chopsticks together to get rid of splinters. if you did that with perfectly good chopsticks at a nice restaurant, then you'd be in trouble.
