Cross-cultural

In Japan, 😋 is commonly paired with meal photos and polite phrases like “いただきます” or “ごちそうさま.” The tone feels more modest and cute, often appearing with food stickers or kaomoji rather than loud excitement.

Heads-up

Using 😋 to describe a person (like “you look delicious”) can sound flirty or objectifying in English. Save it for food, not people — and be mindful if your friend is dieting or has food restrictions.
