When we were in Japan this winter, one of my best friends took us to the Arima Onsen (Hot Springs) and we had the best time there! We brought home this Arima Cider Teppo Water — The origin of Japanese cider. (This is a re-release of the first soda in Japan.) We kept it for a while, but we finally drank it recently (it was good!) and just wanted to take pictures of the bottle so I can archive it here.

On the label it states that carbonated water gushing from the ground had been thought to be poisonous and been afraid of, but later served as the origin of Japanese cider. Interesting…
