As a fellow RVW who went back to US from 2008-2019, when I came back I was blown away by the prevalence of highballs in Japanese nightlife. They are a great alternative to beer!

So true. I haven't been able to track down the Kavalan highball that just got released. Apparently only at Lawson.

And I was thinking about all the other beverage developments during those years. I feel like the energy drink boom and the strong chuhai boom are also a bit surprising.

They had kana for "wi"... Maybe they can make it un-obsolete? :)
