Abstract

This paper mainly discusses the manifestation and influence of pre-meal ritual and drinking culture in Japan. Using the chronological description method, by taking examples and querying the past historical data, it is aimed to restore the most authentic Japanese pre-meal ritual. Its purpose is to take the in-depth discussion of non-religious culture as the breakthrough and dining as the research object. Through the discussion of the historical development and the author’s personal experience, the research reflects that the Japanese society is with high rank and low order, paying great attention to etiquette. It is also hoped that relevant researches can draw conclusions by various methods in the future and lay a foundation for related topics in this field.
