🍶 Drinking culture is an important part of Japanese social life.
• After work, colleagues often go to 居酒屋 (いざかや) for a 飲み会 (nomikai) to bond outside the office.
• Drinking is seen as a way to relax and strengthen relationships, but manners (like pouring drinks for others first) are important.
• Tea (お茶) and sake (お酒) also have ceremonial and cultural significance — from 茶道 (sadō) tea ceremony to 神社 (jinja) sake offerings.
