Izakayas Are Closing, Resignation Agencies Are Booming, and Japan’s Last Again…

This week on No Ginger, you are invited to tea.

Samar covers The Guardian’s story on Japan’s dying drinking culture. Ash takes us through the Mainichi 2024 year-end roundup until she gets stuck on the resignation agency boom. Join us as we rack our brains on:

Why are izakayas shutting down all over Japan? Why are resignation agencies (What's that? 👀)  getting more popular? And why does Japan keep coming in last on every world survey? 😭
