I don't know the etiquette, is that okay?

全然大丈夫だよ！初めてならなおさら気にしなくていいし、僕の真似すればいいからさ。楽しもう！
ぜんぜんだいじょうぶだよ！はじめてならなおさらきにしなくていいし、ぼくのまねすればいいからさ。たのしもう！
It's totally fine! Especially since it's your first time, don't worry about it at all. You can just copy what I do. Let's enjoy it!
Gesture & etiquette
Smile warmly and make a relaxed, welcoming hand gesture.
Avoid being overly rigid about the rules; focus on the experience rather than perfection.
