You're absolutely right about the challenges of coordinating and participating in these opportunities to meet new business contacts in Japan. One of the issues for foreigners visiting Japan is learning names, which tend to be unfamiliar. While exchanging business cards helps, as you pointed out, the ritualistic process in Japan tends to be formal and a bit rigid. However, it is useful to know how to get back in touch with someone after the fact. In any case, the use of adhesive name tags may put some people off, but I always find it useful -- especially if the name tag is easy to read and worn as high up as possible.
