According to Japanese customs, what are their drinking etiquette?

Japanese drinking etiquette of seating. In China, seating is usually arranged according to seniority, but in Japan it's more about hierarchy and the relationship between host and guest. Generally the higher position person will sit in the innermost part of the room, while the lower position person will be near the door. For a gathering of friends, the guests will sit in the inner part of the room, while the host will be closer to the door.

Japanese drinking etiquette of pouring. There is a big difference between Japan and China in pouring wine. In China, friends usually pour wine for each other, but in Japan, if you don't pay for the wine, you can't pour it back. So in Japan, often everyone will open a bottle of wine, especially whiskey this kind, will only take their own wine to pour for others, of course, if this time did not finish, usually the pub will help the guests to keep, the next time you can still drink.

Japanese drinking etiquette of pouring. Japan and China are still similar in terms of pouring sake. Generally, in order to show respect, they pour sake with both hands, and the person who greets them also receives it with both hands. Generally, the sake should not be poured too full, but an eighth is the best, and when pouring, you should pour for the other person first, and then pour for yourself. If it is the elder pouring wine to the younger generation, after the elder has finished pouring, the younger generation can give the poured wine to the elder first. And if someone comes to pour for you, you have to finish the remaining sake in the glass first, so that you can get the glass to pour again, of course, this is generally the custom when drinking sake in Japan, and also to return the favor.

Japanese drinking etiquette of drinking. Drinking too much alcohol, drunk, it is easy to lose control, but Japan because of the influence of Western culture, a bottle of good wine is often a very good gift. Of course, if you are really drunk, you can usually ask the waiter for help, and the waiters at Japanese pubs will know how to handle the situation. But Japanese people are generally more formal, not willing to bother others, so Japan is not as popular as China to persuade the culture of alcohol, so the table is generally not to persuade.
