Japan, as you know, is distinguished for the rules of decorum. These are present even when you are drinking alcohol. For the Japanese is usual, especially in formal situations, to serve the rest of the people and never serve ourselves. even at the end. When you have finished to serve everybody, you have to leave the bottle at the table and wait for someone to serve you. Yo can say that in Japan you don't get drunk...people get you drunk!

If you are in Japan and you want to eat in a local restaurant, you have to be very careful with the manners. You can't nail the chopsticks in the rice bowl, because it's a funeral rite. Also, changing food from a stick to another is impolite to, so, if we want to give some of food to a friend, we have to put it in a dish. If we don't have cutlery for serve, it's polite to use the upper part of chopsticks (that one which does not touch the mouth) for serving ourselves and maintain the food "clean".
