Is it OK to drink bottled water after the expiration date in Japan?

The answer may not surprise you but the reason will. Let’s say you’re at home, going through your disaster preparedness kit, and you find a bottle of spring water you bought a long time ago in case of emergency. Checking by the cap, you see that the expiry date was a few months ago, and decide to use it to water plants or top off the washing machine instead of drinking it. Well, congratulations; you just wasted perfectly good water. Alright, “pe…Read Article

Foreign tourists outnumber Japanese ones at Kyoto hotels for first time ever

Japan’s former capital experiences a historic first as inbound travel boom continues and Japanese travelers avoid staying in the city. Recently, with Japan experiencing a surge in inbound international travelers, it’s not unusual to hear locals remark “These days, it feels like there are more foreign tourists in [sightseeing place] than Japanese people!” Oftentimes this is an exaggeration, but in the case of hotels in Kyoto, it’s the statistical…Travel · KyotoRead Article

Sausage stepping in for increasingly expensive octopus at takoyaki stands around Japan

Sausageyaki? As much as Japan tries to fight it, the rising cost of just about everything is gradually taking hold. Agriculture minister Shinjiro Koizumi managed to fulfill his promise of lowering the price of rice, but whether that can last for long remains to be seen. Now, it appears it’s octopus’ turn to become painfully expensive and takoyaki vendors are feeling the pain. ▼ Takoyaki Takoyaki are little balls of batter grilled with various in…Tokyo, Japan · TokyoRead Article

Is splendid alfonsino ochazuke from a vending machine too fishy, or splendidly delicious?

First we had to track down the vending machine in question. Our Japanese-language team of SoraNews24 reporters sometimes receive requests from readers to investigate a particular topic. Since we’ve been known to tackle just about anything under the sun, many of the requests we receive are of a zany nature. Writer Seiji Nakazawa was intrigued by one such mission we received not long ago (though tame by our standards): “In the neighborhood of Sasa…Tokyo, Japan · TokyoRead Article

Hokkaido police refuse to acknowledge theft that really seems like a theft

Unfortunately, not technically being a theft won’t bring the victim’s car back. Just as I was getting over thinking about how fraud was a strange thing, it turns out old-fashioned theft can be pretty tricky stuff as well. At first thought, it seems as straightforward as someone taking something that’s not theirs, but life has a way of coming up with complicated situations that can make even a theft not seem so black and white. In May, a man livi…Yoichi · YoichiRead Article

Why you should be worried if someone calls you “Uehara-san” in the Japanese workplace

You got a lot of nerve calling me Mr. Uehara! It’s hard to keep up with the way young people speak these days. I don’t get what a skibidi toilet is supposed to be and when I was called “delulu” the other day, I wasn’t sure how I should feel. The same thing goes on in Japanese too of course, but luckily Japanese human resource organization Capable Human Resource Educational Association (CHREA) is here to help. They recently discussed a new trend …Japan · JapanRead Article

Japan’s mint chocolate season hits Family Mart with 14 new choco mint treats (and five superstars)

We taste-test the entire lineup of joy-inducing summertime blue-green sweets. We’re at a special spot in Japan’s seasonal sweets schedule right now: mint chocolate season. Unlike some supply-triggered flavors, like the abundance of sweet potato confectionaries in the fall, mint chocolate season is a demand-driven phenomena, as cravings for sweet treats overlap with the appeal of refreshingly cooling sensations (hence the mint) during Japan’s hot…Japan · JapanRead Article

Do you ever find yourself sitting home feeling hungry or thirsty, and despite having a house full of food, you don’t really feel like having any of it? You contemplate going out for a drink or bite to eat, but then remember that it can be a little pricey.

Real-world Pokémon Diamond and Pearl! Playing with Japan’s Pokémon Fossil Excavation Kits【Pics】

Activity kits turn tables into the Sinnoh Underground and adult Pokémon fans into happy little kids again. Despite the games’ titles, when Pokémon Diamond and Pearl brought the Pokémon franchise to the Nintendo DS for the first time in 2006, the treasures that players spent hours digging out of the earth weren’t gemstones, but fossils. Diamond and Pearl introduced a massive subterranean level called the Underground, which you could explore and e…Japan · JapanRead Article
