Munich Business Pulse
- Culture Efficient, formal, and values quality. Strong focus on engineering and tech.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "Golden Window" is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Bavarian business culture is formal and values high-quality engineering and precision. Be very well-prepared with technical details. Respect the local 8-4 or 9-5 workday strictly; calling after 5:30 PM is generally unprofessional.
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.
