What information is appropriately shared varies by context in Japan. Formal settings have different norms than informal settings. Work contexts differ from social contexts. Public settings differ from private settings.
Drinking occasions may permit sharing that office settings prohibit. Understanding what context you are in determines what information sharing is appropriate. The same person appropriately shares different information in different settings.
When operating across Japanese contexts, read the setting and adjust information sharing accordingly. Complete consistency across contexts is not expected; appropriate contextual variation is.
