I have tried asking for all the mains to come at the same time, but they don't really have a grasp on English and I don't speak Japanese so they still come separate. Is this some kind of cultural thing for Japanese food? It seems really rude if mine comes first or my wife's food comes first. Either way it feels weird to sit there for five minutes waiting for the other meal to come out.
