How do you show your host in a Japanese house that you enjoy his food?

Simply thank him and mention that the food was great with a broad SMILE and BLESS HIS FAMILY.How do you show your host in a Japanese house that you enjoy his food?
You could go with the above option, just be sure to say itadakimasu before you eat and gochiso-sama deshita after you've eaten.How do you show your host in a Japanese house that you enjoy his food?
I'd say-





Put the bowl to your mouth and repeat the phrase, ';Mmmmm, chou umai!! Honto ni umai yo kore!!'; as you simultaneously shovel the food in with your chopsticks.


Rough translation: '; Wow, this is gooood! This is reeeally good!!';





And, after you've scoffed the lot, don't be shy about accepting seconds, thirds and fourths! When you've finished, say, ';Gochisou sama desu!'; Which means ';Thanks (for feeding me like a pig)';


Japanese respond to flattery the same as us westerners..
