Drinking
© Davy Chiu
Beer and sake come in communal bottles. Generally speaking, people do not pour their own beer or sake but rather offer to pour for others. The key is not to let someone else's glass become empty. Always lift your glass to receive beer or sake and say 'domo' or 'sumimasen'. Remember to take turns offering, this is a sign of respect for others. Usually, the more junior you are in relation to others the more drinks you will pour.
