A year in and not a single nomikai. When I asked my school I was told they don't do them. Every other foreign teacher I know gets invited to them at all their schools. Everyone loves to be evasive when I ask if mine is just weird or if my school just doesn't like me! I've never got a hint they DO do them, but I know Japanese workers are famed for separating their work and life!
I ask now, for your wisdom.
