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.

Seoul Business Pulse

  • Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
