I don't think that one is true. Slurping soup or noodles it ok but I think burping after a meal is a Nordic custom.. I tried to google for an answer to be sure but I didn't find anything that specifically mentioned burping after meals.

I think the important thing is to tell your host that you really enjoyed the meal and the effort they put into it.

Simply saying, "Gochisoo-sama" after the meal is appropriate.

i think you have your countries mixed up. Japan is one of the few Asian countries where it is not good manners.
