あ、まずは柄杓で水を汲んで、両手を洗うんだよ。そのあと口もゆすぐのがルール。
あ、まずはひしゃくでみずをくんで、りょうてをあらうんだよ。そのあとくちもゆすぐのがるーる。
Oh, first you scoop water with the ladle and wash both your hands. Then, it's the rule to rinse your mouth too.
Gesture & etiquette
Point toward the purification fountain (Chozuya) and demonstrate the motion of holding a ladle.
Do not drink directly from the ladle or touch it with your mouth; always pour water into your hand first.
