Lisbon Business Pulse
- Culture Relationship-based and relaxed. Business often starts with a coffee.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Portuguese business culture is highly relational; do not dive straight into the agenda. Spend time on personal greetings and building trust. Punctuality is valued in professional settings but can be slightly fluid.
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.
