Hamburg Business Pulse
- Culture Practical, reliable, and trade-focused. Values the "Hanseatic" tradition of integrity.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Business culture is direct, efficient, and honest. Reliability is the most important trait. Respect the standard 9-5 work day strictly; calling after 6:00 PM is considered unprofessional and intrusive.
Osaka Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
