The guests then remove the lids from the rice and soup bowls, placing the lid of the soup bowl on top of the rice bowl lid. The lids are placed to the right of the tray. When the guests have finished their rice and soup, the host serves them warm sake. The principal guest is served first, followed by the other guests. The guests then eat the food from the tray.
More rice is brought in, but the guests serve themselves.
A second helping of soup is offered, if the guests desire more. Next, the host brings in a bowl of delicacies in a broth. More sake is served by the host at this time. A dish containing broiled fish is then brought in by the host. The principal guest takes some of the fish, and passes the dish onto the other guests, who each take a portion.
