Line 78:
As with other alcohol in Japan, sake is poured with the palm of the hand facing down and the back of the hand facing up, particularly when it is poured for another person. Pouring with the palm of the hand facing up is considered rude and is likely to elicit surprise and disapproval.
In some of the more traditional Japanese restaurants, as a show of generosity, the server may put a glass inside the ''masu'' (or put the ''masu'' inside a saucer) and pour until a large amount of sake overflows and fills this secondary container.
