When we have Japanese set lunch, we have ,      soap,   " steam egg "   and the main diish.
Of course, you can eat in any order the way you like.

I would like to hnow THE PROPER WAY   { the Japanese's way  }    to have the steam egg.  
BEFORE   the main dish     OR      AFTER.  ??

I assume the soap will be the first one to have. ?

                       correction   
soap    should be           soup

oh, usually soup is last, and chawanmushi(steamed egg) is second last.   

Thanks

egg  first and soup last.

Do you mean:

Egg
main dish
soup

in that order.

Thanks for MOXFACTOR'S  reply.

Many years ago, I have stayed  in Japan for a short period training the Japanese staff.Unfortunately, I did not appreciate the Japanese food . .(.the raw seafood ). Hence I did not bother  find out the way they eat.

But , after a few years , I am very .... very keen about Japanese raw seafood. I go to a Japanese Rest nearly once a week.

Last few years, I have been Japan again ,and enjoy  the food very much.

I prefer to get the answer here rather than to ask the guy from Japanese Rest. ..........If brother here can help me.

May be I should not say here........ Sometimes ,I feel that table manner is part of a good meal.(including of course  ....{..Services, atmoshere,decoration, food, music ..etc ......}  ..)

Of course, We can eat the way we like as I said in the first line.

Never know, I may have meals with a Japanes friend  some day. I want to show him .........I am doing the right thing.  !

Thanks    Thanks     Thanks    Thanks           for MOXFACTOR'S  reply

Very detail          ..........         much appreciated
