خلفية ثقافية
Portion sizes are often very large. It is common to take 'leftover' food home in a 'doggy bag.' The term 'tea' can mean a cup of tea, but in many regions, it also means the main evening meal. It is polite to say 'Itadakimasu' before you eat food to show gratitude for the meal. Food is a central part of family life. Meals are often long and consist of multiple courses.
Keep it simple
If you are in a hurry, just say 'I'm hungry.' People will know you want to eat food!
