What drink did this restaurant give me 2018/1/14 19:54
I'm at a relatively small restaurant in Shibuya and when I was seated I was handed a glass with some light brown liquid, and long table had several jugs of it being regularly topped up. When I watched a new jug being made, the man filled about 1/10th of the jug with black liquid and the rest with water. What is it?

Was the taste a bit roasted? If so, it might have been barley tea. Itfs called mugicha in Japanese and widely available. If you want to taste it again (or compare the taste to what you did drink just ask in a combine for gmugichah. There are different uses that all taste a bit differently, but I personally like the all ;-)

Enjoy your stay in Japan!

Ah, mugicha. One of the pleasing facts of Japanese restaurants that it's served refreshingly iced even during cold weather.
