Gesture & etiquette
Use this phrase near the end of the meeting while referring to your notes. Speak clearly and make eye contact with the main decision-maker(s). After confirmation, write down the agreed point. This wrap-up confirmation is valued as a mark of thoroughness and clarity.
Ending meetings with verbal confirmation of key decisions is best practice in Japanese business — it prevents misunderstandings and creates shared accountability before the written minutes follow. Noting confirmed decisions in your notebook during the meeting shows attentiveness.
