I will appreciate if anyone could provide some insight into Japanese drinking culture. Specificaly it's pouring part.
Who would normally pour drinks in a senpai-kohai situation? What if there are many senpais? In a situation i had - a senpai poured me sake and i felt a bit awkward.
Who would normally pour drinks when drinking with friends? In a situation i had there were all types of pouring - young people pouring older people, gentlemen pouring ladies and vice versa. People also poured their whisky themselves, a teshaku they called it. Well i guess that's what i would expect from a friendly drinking party and it felt perfectly normal
And finally who would normally pour drinks on a date? In a situation i had - the girl poured herself wine after pouring me some first. It felt rather natural, but i am still a bit confused and want to know for sure.
Also while it is only natural to hold the bottle or tokkuri with both hands, how is one supposed to hold a glass or choko when being served? One hand? Both hands?
