If you are having soup, you slurp it really loud. The louder the slurping noise is, the more you are enjoying it...

I'd say (and I've been living in Japan for 16 years now) Put the bowl to your mouth and repeat the phrase, "Mmmmm, chou umai!! Honto ni umai yo kore!!" as you simultaneously shovel the food in with your chopsticks. Rough translation: " Wow, this is gooood! This is reeeally good!!" And, after you've scoffed the lot, don't be shy about accepting seconds, thirds and fourths! When you've finished, say, "Gochisou sama desu!" Which means "Thanks (for feeding me like a pig)" Japanese respond to flattery the same as us westerners.

Japanese eating manners. Before eating say "Itadakimasu" (Literally, I will (humbly) accept your offering - also used to accept gifts) To compliment the host/cook "Tottemo oishii desu" - "Very delicious". "Cho umai" would be caual and younger people would normally say this. It means "super good". (Umai can also be used for a skill like playing guitar - Guitar ga umai) Eating all the food offered to you is a good compliment to the host. When done, say "Gochisousama deshita" - "I have been treated to a feast"

Big smiles and sighs of satisfaction. One action is worth a thousand words.
