There’s a massive misunderstanding about how Japanese eat noodles. We don’t slurp it up, we inhale it. There’s a huge difference. The former makes a wet slurpy sound, but the latter is a sharp airy sound.

It's all the fault of Tom Selleck and "Mr. Baseball". /s 😉

@drmambobob I guess it depends where you are. Kyushu is definitely more slurpy. I bet we could get an ignoble prize for research on how humidity affects the sound!😅

@Bumblefish But I bet it’s not a long slurpy sound but short bursts?

@drmambobob It depends on who's eating. Some do ススス. Spouse does スー〜ササジャ〜ルルズット。It's definitely an inhale, but as if a vacuum cleaner got tangled in noodles and soup. My Honshu colleagues (especially Nagoya) do the cleanest ススス
