Drinking has many different customs in different regions, different nationalities and different countries.
Japan, a nation that has enjoyed drinking since ancient times, is not ashamed of being drunk. Adults not only drink at parties, but also often go to bars for two drinks, and then go home after a day's work. According to Japanese custom, drinking is an important etiquette. On that day, I must always pay attention to filling other people's cups and my own cups. It is impolite for the Japanese to be dissatisfied with their glasses. We also need to know the Japanese custom of pouring wine to each other. After the host pours wine for them, the guests should immediately take the host's bottle and pour wine for the host. At the banquet, guests and hosts don't pour wine into their cups, but pour wine into each other.
The Japanese think this is the performance of equality between subject and object. Even if senior managers and ordinary shop assistants pour wine, both sides pour wine for each other. The traditional drinking method in Japan is to put a bowl filled with clear water in the middle of the table, and put a clean white gauze on each table. The host washed his cup with clear water, and pressed the cup mouth down on the gauze to let the water droplets be sucked dry. After pouring the wine, he handed his hands to the guests and watched them drink it off. After the guests finish drinking, rinse the cup with clear water, blot it with white gauze and fill it up. Give your hands back to your master and ask him to drink them all. So make a change and drink to your heart's content, which shows the intimacy between the host and the guest.
If you are just friends, you don't have to drink like this. When drinking in Japan, it is impolite to put the cup on the table and let the host fill it. When pouring wine, hold the hip flask in your right hand and take it from below in your left hand. Never touch the glass. Guests should hold the glass in their right hand, gently hold the bottom of the glass in their left hand, and accept each other's pouring. Generally speaking, it is not impolite to accept the first glass of wine and politely decline the second. Japanese often buckle their glasses on the table after drinking, but it is polite for those who refuse the second glass of wine not to buckle their glasses until everyone has finished drinking.
China people talk? A thousand glasses of wine are not worth a bosom friend? What about the Japanese? Become a bosom friend after a thousand cups? . It can be seen that drinking is not only an important means of communication in China society, but also in Japanese society.

There are two theories about the origin of clinking glasses: the first one comes from ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks believed that when drinking, the nose could smell the wine, the eyes could see the color of the wine, the tongue could taste the wine, but the ears could not feel it. In order to make up for this shortcoming, they came up with the idea of clinking glasses before drinking, so that their ears could hear the crisp sound of glasses. Over time, this practice has gradually become a drinking etiquette. The second one is from ancient Rome. Knights of ancient Rome? Wrestling?
