    So if you don't read the air, you might take things as compliment when they're really not

    Tokyo-ites are not as skillful. We have less subtlety and just get straight up passive aggressive.

    But seriously, yes, "reading the air" is an important skill to have in Japan since there are many times when things should not be taken at face value.

    An important aspect of sarcasm is wit.
    But people in Kyoto are known for their veiled insults... without wit.

    It's true that sarcasm is not really used in Japan.
