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.
St Louis Business Pulse
- Culture Midwestern values of friendliness and hard work. Business is professional but often involves personal connection.
- Lunch Break Typically 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Operating in Central Time (CST/CDT), St Louis is a perfect bridge for coast-to-coast US calls. Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the most engaged responses. A friendly, personal opening is culturally expected before diving into technical or business details.
