My English seems to be really bad…
Filling other people’s glasses is not duty. Pouring each other is a Japanese custom, so if you (from foreign countries) want to behave like Japanese, you should pour other people. In doing so, you need to be careful, or there is almost always someone who pours people before you notice.
Still, nobody accuse you when you don’t pour the people.
Thank you!
