Well, it's not a matter of agree or disagree. I'm simply pointing out the cultural norms, and what specific things would mean to Ishida and the intended Japanese audience.

It's like, even in Shojo series, you don't see a lot of hugging or kissing. Even married couples do not hug or kiss much in front of other people.

For example, Yomo or Banjou giving Hinami their jackets wouldn't have the same significance. The age difference is enough for it to simply be an adult taking care of a child, as opposed to something with romantic element. In the same manner, Yoriko always bringing Touka food is seen as simply friendship. But a girl offering a boy food is seen as romantic, hence Yoriko encouraging Touka to share the food with Kaneki.
