In this episode, we talk about gift-giving in Japan. Omiyage is an important part of Japanese culture but it can be a little tricky sometimes. We go over the proper way to give and receive omiyage, as well as when you’re expected to buy omiyage for others.
Speaking of omiyage…I (Kevin) just got back from a short trip to Japan and brought back an omiyage for our Happy Hour Japan viewers! Unfortunately, I only have one so we’ll holding a drawing in our next episode for it. If you’re interested, comment below and be sure to let me know you want to be entered in the raffle!
Cheers!….er, I mean, Kanpai!
