Japanese beer etiquette
If you ever find yourself in Japan, at a Japanese restaurant, or in the company of Japanese friends, here are some dos and do nots when drinking beer:
Never pour your own drink (unless you’re drinking alone, obviously!) as it is considered not only bad manners but bad luck to do so. Pour your partner’s drink first and then allow them to pour yours. It is customary to drink out of a small glass from a large bottle which is shared.
No matter how thirsty you are, wait until everyone is ready to drink before you start to sink your beer.
Sharing is not caring when it comes to drinking someone else’s beer. To be honest, that’s weird in most cultures.
Drink every last little drop of your beer - it’s considered wasteful to leave any, and we agree!
The Japanese version of ‘cheers’ is ‘kanpai’ pronounced ‘gahn-pie.’ Its literal translation is ‘empty cup’ and originates from the expectation that you should drink your small cup of sake in one go. Don’t feel you have to down your beer every time someone makes a toast - a sip will do! As the night wears on and the drinks are flowing, expect a few calls of ‘banzai!’, which means ‘to live 10,000 years.
