They’re served in portions suited to an adult man’s stomach, aren’t they?
I’m underage and have a small appetite, so forcing myself to finish everything is difficult.
I force myself to eat because I’m obsessed with the idea that “leaving food is rude,” but since I don’t normally eat that much, my stomach sticks out afterward. My flat stomach becomes noticeably bloated.
I’m worried that I’ll be a disappointment during the adult relationship (intimate) afterward.
Do the papas realize that girls have small stomachs and that the meals served are portions intended for men?

Our Tokyo staff would also like to answer your question.
You can write a self-introduction on your member page. Since you have a small appetite and find it difficult to finish your food, you might consider mentioning something like, “I don’t eat much, so I’m not very comfortable with course meals.”
Forcing yourself to eat may make the gentleman feel uncomfortable, and most importantly, it may be hard on you. We hope you’ll consider doing so.

Because of my work and the relentless demands of childcare, I’m usually unable to sit down and eat a proper meal, so I’ve gotten used to eating small amounts several times instead.
Anything from a full-course meal to even a lunch set feels like a struggle, so I ask for half portions of bread or rice, or order a half portion if possible.
I try to gauge the situation first, since asking outright could come across as rude.

It’s perfectly fine to leave some of a course meal.
I once went to a kaiseki restaurant, where the proprietress told me, “We provide the menu so you can enjoy the dishes we’ll be serving all the way through. We’d rather you enjoy at least a bite of each dish until the end, so it’s perfectly fine to leave some food along the way.”
The better the restaurant, the more helpful their suggestions will be if you let them know at the start that you’d like smaller portions. They’ll make arrangements so you can enjoy the meal.
The service charge exists to accommodate guests’ various preferences. Make good use of the service.

I always struggle with what to offer on a first date, so please understand that. It comes down to personal preferences and portion sizes. Being served a full course of food you dislike would be unbearable, after all.
So if you receive an offer, please make an effort to let him know that you have a small appetite and aren’t comfortable with course meals. That way, he can accommodate you in all sorts of ways.
Thank you.

Thank you for your question.
Most men understand that your stomach may look a little fuller after eating, so I don’t think you need to worry about it too much.
If it really bothers you, you could mention that, from the second meeting onward, you’d prefer going to the hotel first and having dinner afterward.
As for course meals, I think men understand that too. We choose them because we believe women will enjoy them, so if you say something like, “I’m sorry, I’m a light eater,” he probably won’t mind at all if you leave some food.

The portions in course meals are seriously huge, right?
I totally get how you feel!
There’s no way you can get intimate after eating that much, haha.
Next time, talk it over with your papa (a male supporter).

I also feel uncomfortable if I eat everything, so I avoid ordering courses with large portions. If the restaurant allows you to reserve a table only, I do that instead. So some people have noticed.
Rather than venting your dissatisfaction in the Q&A box, why not start by politely telling your papa (a male supporter), “I don’t eat very much”?
