Watch this video -- it is the Samurai Way!
All credit for this find goes to John Moffett.
Also, I consulted the accuracy of the video with the Kaneko clan, and they all verified that it is 100% correct! I can attest to this, since when Eiji poured my beer last night, he said "ma ma ma ma ma", while I responded appropriately with "o to to to to to".
It should be known, I was afraid I was witnessing a faux pas which might have to result in some せっぷく (ritual suicide) when Mr. Kaneko poured his own drink instead of having the Missus do it for him. However, I was informed that when one needs sake with a passion, they are to throw all caution to the wind and serve themselves -- it is the way of the Shogun!

Soon there will be a photo up here taken by Den of me (hopefully) executing the correct angle when opening the little curtain!
How come we didn't learn any of this when we visited? I like Toni's way better... SUMIMASEN!!
She wanted to put me in a no smoking room, but I said, NO, I WANT TO SMOKE!!
I miss that man.
