Synchronization Context

Syncing between Moscow and Tokyo is challenging due to the 6 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Moscow Business Pulse

Culture Direct, formal, and results-oriented. Trust is earned through performance and reliability.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 11:00 AM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1 PM - 2 PM lunch slot. Russian business culture can be very direct and formal; do not mistake a lack of small talk for a lack of interest. Be prepared with solid data and a clear "bottom line" for your discussion.

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
