Itadakimasu-Gochisosama

Itadakimasu and gochiso sama are very important parts of the dining etiquette in Japan. Itadakimasu is said just before eating, it literally means "to receive" or "accept " but in this context more like a DNA infused Japanese Way in a ritualistic connotation, you could almost say it's like a prayer.
