    • There are designated areas for cell phone use. It is considered EXTREMELY rude to talk on your phone on any for of public transportation. People instead opt to use text messages.

    • Santori is one of the best beers I have had, ever. I recommend it.

    Also, light beer is known as diet beer in Japan. So don't be offended if someone says you look like a diet beer kind of person.

    • Gratuity is already added into the bill. Don't tip, it might be considered offensive.

    Another note, the service would probably garner HUGE tips in America. The service is quite excellent.

    Don't hesitate to shout to your server to gain their attention when you want something.
