Cultural Tip: Gift Giving

In Japanese culture, it is polite to give a small gift when shopping, especially when visiting someone’s home. A common phrase to use when presenting a gift is これはプレゼントです (kore wa purezento desu), meaning ‘This is a present.’ This gesture is a sign of respect and gratitude.
