In this video, from where I got the picture, it shows BoA, the person eating it, rolling it around teh bowl forming a circle. Can someone tell me how to eat it?

Answer 1

Looking at the image, the writing looks Korean not Japanese.
Currently, I can't play the video so I can't tell if it's a rice bowl (Donburi in Japanese) or a bowl of noodles (Ramen in Japanese).

As a Korean dish, it could be Bibimbap.

Edit... I just watched the video and 52 seconds into the clip the narrator said it was "******* soba" which mean it's a noodle dish where toppings are poured/placed on top of the noodles.

Here's a description for ******* udon (udon is just another type of noodle), but the same technique is used for soba noodles... ******* udon is simple cold noodle. You may put various toppings, such as boiled eggs, boiled meat, boiled vegetables, and so on.

How to eat?
She's using her chopsticks to mix the indredients and to gather a bite of noodles by wrapping it around the chopsticks as she swirls it around... Sort of like using a fork to twirl a bite of spaghetti.

Answer 2

Actually, the subtitles are Korean, but the writing in the center is Japanese.

I forget what the name of the dish is, but it is noodles with egg. She is swirling the noodles to get the yolk up, similar to sukiyaki if I'm not mistaken.

Answer 3

the girl's nationality is korean, but what she was eating is clearly japanese noodles or ramen. it's the polite way of eating noodles or ramen, by twirling your chopsticks around the bowl. somewhat like twirling your fork when eating pasta noodles. bibimbap is a korean rice dish, made of rice of course and mixed vegetable cooked in a small cast iron bowl. clearly...that wasn't rice she was having. there are lots of instant ramens in groceries, but i suggest you try it at an authentic japanese restaurant. you'll love it.

Answer 4

thats korean, the text was korean and boa is korean. its called bibimpap or bokkeum. its basically rice or noodle with a hard boiled egg on top with sliced fresh veggies like cucumber, bean sprouts and stuff like that. when you eat it u just mix it all up and then boom its ready lol

Answer 5

Shoagon writes: 'on on the instant time each and every of the girls human beings of the homestead carry gruel-sticks, which they conceal heavily from one yet another. that's maximum exciting to work out them walking approximately, as they look ahead to an danger to hit their companions. one and all is careful to no longer be struck herself and is consistently finding over her shoulder to be sure no person is stealing up on her. however the precautions are ineffective, for till now long between the girls human beings manages to attain a success. She is extremely pleased with herself and laughs merrily. all human beings nicely-knownshows this friendly - different than, of direction, the sufferer, who seems very positioned out.'
