I was told a long time ago that if you have overstayed your welcome in a Kyoto house you might get offered another cup of green tea (ocha), which could be the sign to go.

In Tokyo many restaurants will come and fill your glass of water up once you have long since finished your meal but dont seem to be moving.

This is a good way to remind people to break out of their conversation and think about leaving, without telling them straight out they should go.

Is it true that in Japan, offering ochazuke is also a soft gesture from the host telling the guest to go away ?
Or maybe I’m just reading comic too much ^-^;

Sounds like a good meal regardless if you are sick.

Oh and I hope your kidney stone passes quickly (^ _ ^)
