食事会
When you hear 食事会 (shokujikai), think of a gathering centered around eating. It's more than just a regular meal; it implies a social event where people come together specifically to share food and conversation. You might have a 食事会 with friends, family, or even colleagues. It's a common and enjoyable way to socialize in Japan.
When you hear 食事会 (shokujikai), think of a gathering specifically centered around a meal. It's more than just eating; it implies a social event where people come together to share food and conversation. It could be a casual get-together with friends or a more formal dinner event. So, if someone invites you to a 食事会, prepare for a nice meal and good company!
When you're invited to a meal with friends, family, or coworkers, you're likely going to a 食事会 (shokujikai). This word literally translates to "meal gathering."
It's more than just eating; it's a social event centered around food, often used in business contexts too. For example, a company might have a 食事会 to celebrate a project's completion.
Think of it as a dinner party or luncheon, but the emphasis is on the gathering itself, not just the food. You can use it for various occasions, from casual get-togethers to more formal corporate meals.
When talking about a social gathering centered around a meal, especially dinner, the word to use is 食事会 (shokujikai). It literally combines 食事 (shokuji), meaning 'meal,' with 会 (kai), meaning 'gathering' or 'meeting.' So, you can think of it as a 'meal gathering.'
It's commonly used for various situations, such as a dinner with colleagues, friends, or even a more formal dinner event. For instance, you might say 「会社の食事会」 (kaisha no shokujikai) for a company dinner party, or 「友達との食事会」 (tomodachi to no shokujikai) for a dinner with friends. It implies a scheduled event where the main purpose is to share a meal and socialize.
When organizing a social event centered around food, you can use the term 食事会 (shokujikai). This noun specifically refers to a dinner party or any gathering where the primary purpose is to share a meal together. It implies a more structured and intentional get-together than just casually eating with someone.
You might hear this term when someone is inviting you to a meal-focused event, whether it's with friends, family, or colleagues. For instance, a company might have an end-of-year 食事会, or friends might arrange a 食事会 at a restaurant. It emphasizes the social aspect of eating together.

§ What is a shokujikai?
The Japanese word 食事会 (shokujikai) literally combines the characters for 'meal' (食事 - shokuji) and 'gathering/meeting' (会 - kai). This gives you a clear idea of its meaning: a gathering specifically for the purpose of sharing a meal.
- DEFINITION
- Dinner party; a social gathering for a meal.
§ Where you'll hear 食事会
You'll encounter 食事会 in various social and professional contexts in Japan. It's a common term to describe planned meal gatherings. Here's where it pops up:
- Work: Companies often hold 食事会 for team building, welcoming new employees, celebrating achievements, or even as part of client entertainment. It's a way to foster camaraderie outside of the typical office environment.
- School: Teachers might organize a 食事会 for students, or students might plan one among themselves to celebrate graduation, a school festival, or simply to deepen friendships.
- Social Circles: Among friends and family, 食事会 is used for birthdays, anniversaries, or just a nice get-together at someone's home or a restaurant.
§ Examples in context
Let's look at some examples to see how 食事会 is used naturally:
週末に友達と食事会をしました。
(Shūmatsu ni tomodachi to shokujikai o shimashita.)
Translation hint: I had a dinner party with friends on the weekend.
Here, it refers to a casual social gathering for a meal among friends.
会社の歓迎食事会に参加します。
(Kaisha no kangei shokujikai ni sanka shimasu.)
Translation hint: I will participate in the company's welcome dinner party.
This example shows its use in a work context, specifically a welcome event for new staff.
来週、先生と生徒の食事会があります。
(Raishū, sensei to seito no shokujikai ga arimasu.)
Translation hint: There will be a teacher and student meal gathering next week.
Here, it describes a meal gathering involving both teachers and students, common in school settings.
§ Related words
While 食事会 is quite specific, here are some related terms you might hear:
- 飲み会 (nomikai): This literally means 'drinking gathering' and is more focused on alcohol, though food is usually present. It's often more casual than a 食事会.
- 会食 (kaishoku): This term is generally more formal and often implies a business meal or a meal with someone you want to show respect to.
- パーティー (pātī): This is the English loanword 'party'. It can be broader than a 食事会 and may not always involve a full meal, sometimes just drinks and snacks.
Understanding these nuances will help you navigate social situations in Japan more smoothly. When someone invites you to a 食事会, expect a dedicated meal and a chance to socialize.
§ Don't confuse it with just a 'meal'
Many learners, especially at the B1 level, see the kanji for 'meal' (食事) in 食事会 and assume it simply means 'a meal.' While it does involve eating, the '会' (kai) part is crucial. It means 'gathering' or 'meeting.' So, a 食事会 is specifically a social gathering centered around a meal, often with a particular purpose or group.
You wouldn't use 食事会 to talk about eating breakfast alone or a quick lunch at your desk. It implies a more formal or intentional social event.
§ It's not always a 'dinner' party
While 'dinner party' is a good primary translation, 食事会 isn't strictly limited to dinner. It can refer to a lunch gathering, a brunch event, or even an early evening social where food is the main focus. The key is the social aspect and the meal, not necessarily the time of day.
- Wrong usage
- I had a quick 食事会 for lunch by myself.
- Correct usage
- 会社の同僚との食事会は楽しかったです。(The dinner party with colleagues from work was fun.)
In the incorrect example, the term '食事会' is misused because it implies a solitary meal, which contradicts the 'gathering' aspect of the word. In the correct example, the context of 'colleagues' clearly indicates a social gathering.
§ Using it for non-meal gatherings
Because '会' means 'gathering,' some learners might mistakenly use 食事会 for any social gathering, even if food isn't the central element. Remember, for 食事会, the meal is the primary reason for the gathering.
If it's a study group, a brainstorming session, or just a casual meetup for coffee, even if some snacks are present, it's probably not a 食事会 unless the main focus is a full meal. For those, you'd use terms like 勉強会 (benkyoukai - study group) or simply 集まり (atsumari - gathering).
週末に友達と食事会
Here, the context of 'friends' and 'weekend' perfectly fits the social gathering aspect with a meal.
§ Overlooking the nuance of formality
While 食事会 can be informal, it often carries a slightly more organized or intentional feel than just 'eating out with friends.' It implies a planned event. You might use it for a company dinner, a reunion, or a celebratory meal. For a very casual, spontaneous meal with friends, you might simply say ご飯に行く (gohan ni iku - to go for a meal) or 飲み会 (nomikai - drinking party, which often includes food).
- 食事会: Often a planned, focused meal gathering.
- ご飯に行く: More general, can be spontaneous.
- 飲み会: Focused on drinks, though food is usually present.
Understanding these nuances will help you choose the most appropriate word for different social dining situations in Japanese.
Wusstest du?
This word clearly indicates the purpose of the gathering is centered around food, distinguishing it from general 'parties' (パーティー - paatii) which might not necessarily involve a full meal.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing the 'u' in 'shoku' too strongly, it's often reduced.
- Not emphasizing the 'kai' enough, which means 'gathering'.

A 食事会 (shokujikai) is a gathering where the main purpose is to eat together, often in a social or celebratory context. It can be a dinner party at someone's home, a company dinner, or a gathering of friends at a restaurant. It implies a more formal or planned event than just 'eating out.'
Some learners confuse 食事会 (shokujikai) with a simple 'meal.' While it involves a meal, the '会 (kai)' part specifically indicates a 'gathering' or 'meeting.' So, saying you're going to a 食事会 implies a social event centered around food, not just eating dinner by yourself.
Tipps
Basic Meaning of 食事会
食事会 (shokujikai) literally combines 食事 (shokuji), meaning 'meal', and 会 (kai), meaning 'gathering' or 'party'. So, it's a 'meal gathering'.
Understand the Context of 'Party'
While it includes 'party' in the English definition, it's often a more casual and focused gathering for eating, rather than a big celebration with dancing. Think of it more like a dinner get-together.
Purpose of a 食事会
A 食事会 can be for various purposes: socializing with friends, colleagues after work, or a family gathering. It emphasizes the act of sharing a meal.
Distinguishing from パーティー (paatii)
パーティー (paatii) is the direct loanword for 'party' and often implies a larger, more festive event. 食事会 is specifically about eating together.
Common Usage: Company Dinners
You'll often hear this term for company dinners or gatherings with colleagues, like '忘年会 (bōnenkai)' or '新年会 (shinnenkai)', which are a type of 食事会.
Verbs Used with 食事会
Common verbs include 食事会をする (suru) - 'to have a dinner party', or 食事会に行く (iku) - 'to go to a dinner party'.
Formal vs. Informal
食事会 can be both formal and informal. The context usually clarifies the level of formality. For instance, a dinner with clients is a 食事会, as is a casual dinner with friends.
Don't Over-Translate 'Party'
Be careful not to always translate it as a 'party' in the Western sense of a big celebration. It's often simply a 'dinner gathering'.
Sentence Example 1
今晩、友達と食事会があります。
(Konban, tomodachi to shokujikai ga arimasu.)

- meal gathering

Basic Meaning of 食事会
食事会 (shokujikai) literally combines 食事 (shokuji), meaning 'meal', and 会 (kai), meaning 'gathering' or 'party'. So, it's a 'meal gathering'.
Understand the Context of 'Party'
While it includes 'party' in the English definition, it's often a more casual and focused gathering for eating, rather than a big celebration with dancing. Think of it more like a dinner get-together.
Purpose of a 食事会
A 食事会 can be for various purposes: socializing with friends, colleagues after work, or a family gathering. It emphasizes the act of sharing a meal.
Distinguishing from パーティー (paatii)
パーティー (paatii) is the direct loanword for 'party' and often implies a larger, more festive event. 食事会 is specifically about eating together.
