japan has one of most strict safety standards for tap water in the world and as you know, in addition the water pipes are renewed at stated periods while in fact no safety standards for mineral waters. actually mostly invisible minute molds are growing inside the bottles, especially imported ones. so if the residual chlorines of j-tap water are filtered properly, you can drink safest-on-the-planet water from your faucets in this country.

You are right and you are right it is particularly idiotic in many parts of Japan. Where I live the water is incredibly soft.
In places like London where the water is perfectly safe but hard as nails then I can see some benefit but here it is mostly fresh off the mountains and so bottled or filtered water is just a waste of money.
People have more money than sense sometimes. Japanese and non Japanese.

There is a time and place for bottled water....in the past week, trapped outdoors in the blistering sun, I bought Evian and 7-11's "Natural Mineral Water." Both tasted like shitty tap water and I'd rather guzzle any of the artificially sweetened crap they have for sale than try either of those again.

I've been to places in Shimane where the high iron content stains everything reddish yellow and you really don't want to drink it.
Sliced ham? Sliced cheese? Sorry, but sliced chocolate is about to make everything else you can put on bread seem like chopped liver in comparison.
Despite its alcoholic-sounding name, Japanese company Bourbon actually specializes in chocolate. Still, its latest product seems like the kind of so-crazy-it’s-brilliant idea born out of a flash of heavily inebriated inspiration.

Does anybody without kids even buy sliced cheese anymore?

Not sure I agree with the author's enthusiasm.

I would if there were proper delis in Tokyo where you could get real cheese sliced for making sandwiches.
Sliced nama choko doesn't look all that exciting to me but I don't know why it's vomit inducing.

Really? As in it just doesn't work or isn't right? Fair enough.
