  • In Japan, communication at drinking occasions is highly valued. Therefore, there are a variety of rules there. To be honest, there are many rules that even we Japanese think are mendacious... Well, in this video, I would like to learn about such rules at drinking parties, and I would like to react to the best video where you can learn in a fun way while making many interesting mistakes. The rules are a pain in the butt, but Japanese beer is delicious, so please drink it!

    My assumption about eating those carbohydrate dishes at the end of the meal is probably those items tend to make you feel full and you would be less likely to eat and/or drink more items later. When I go out to eat especially if its for All You Can Eat I tend to avoid eating items like bread, rice, noodles, etc. especially early in the meal.

    The Chochin is definitely meant to protect the candle from the wind. But i'm also pretty certain that it is intended to diffuse the light to spread it around.
    A single candle, while bright will not illuminate very far from the lightsource. But when the paper of the Chochin catches the light from the candle inside, it spreads the light in more directions so it's a better source of illumination.

    • @rezhaadriantanuharja3389
      @rezhaadriantanuharja3389 Рік тому +4

      Diffuse the light is correct but because it reduce the intensity of the light, illumination will not be farther than without it, quite the opposite actually. Another reason to use it is to change the color of illumination so it is more attractive e.g. bright red

Also, I love Tomoko and Harumi laughing in the background.

    • @himawaricopter
      @himawaricopter Рік тому +13

      Even as the video implies, people who don't drink alcohol still go to these dinner/late night parties for social reasons. And it's okay if you cannot consume alcohol, just explain that and order something else. The idea is that you shouldn't turn down the hospitality and chance to interact with coworkers.

      I think for funerals, and to a lesser extent, weddings, the etiquette is determined in part by the religion of the deceased & his/her family. For example, Jews cover mirrors in the homes where people gather after a death, because grieving people should not have to worry about how they look.

    In terms of Samurai, while the samurai class is technically abolished, ine could argue that the descendants of samurai families would still be samurai by heritage.
    But a Shogun I would interpret as more of an official state title, and all of that stuff eventually disappeared since the Meiji restoration.

    If you participate in an 'Enkai' and for some reason can't (don't want to) drink alcohol? Eg recovering alcoholic?
    Can I drink non-alcoholic drinks at these gatherings? I mean it's all about drinking alcohol...or?

      From what I've seen, it mostly depends on the people you're with, however most are understanding if you cannot or do not want to imbibe alcohol, as long as you participate and drink something, even if it's just juice.

    I'm surprised the drunk guy with the tie on his head didn't get a comment. Why does he have a tie on his head?

      Because otherwise we wouldn't know that he is drunk and the clown of the group.

      That's a thing in America too. Basically when someone drinks too much they want to take off their clothes because they get too warm. The man with a tie on his head has one because he tried to take off his tie the hard way. I'm not sure where else this symbol of drunkenness exists.
