"With Suntory reviving its well-known commercial song Wisukī ga osuki desho (You Like Whisky, Don't You) and a growing craze for highballs, the whisky market has made a comeback in Japan. The Western liquor became part of popular culture during the period of Japan's high economic growth, making mizuwari (whisky and water) a household word and giving rise to small drinking establishments known as 'snack' bars".
Great historical insights....

Interesting that imported whisky which was most likely Scotch whisky was already a prized in Japan in 1924. _________________ There's no bad whisky. Just good whisky and better whisky.
