뜻
To consume alcoholic beverages.
문화적 배경
The 'Nomikai' is a central part of Japanese corporate life. It's an opportunity for employees to bond outside the office. Pouring etiquette: Never pour your own drink. It is considered polite to pour for others and wait for them to pour for you. Age limit: The legal drinking age in Japan is 20. Convenience stores will ask you to touch a screen to confirm you are over 20. Izakaya culture: These are Japanese pubs where 'osake o nomu' is accompanied by many small dishes (otsumami).
The Power of 'O'
Always use the 'o' in 'osake' to sound polite and natural. Men sometimes drop it, but for learners, keeping it is safer.
Driving Laws
Japan has zero tolerance for drinking and driving. Even a small amount can lead to severe penalties.
