Japanese Finger Bowls

A finger bowl is a small bowl of water, often with a lemon slice or flower, used for rinsing fingertips after eating messy or greasy finger foods, and for cleaning up before moving to the next course. They are traditionally served during formal meals, typically before or after the dessert course, but can also be presented after any course that involves eating with your hands.
