This is a water pitcher used for diluting Japanese sake, shochu, whiskey, fruit liqueurs, and especially umeshu (plum wine) in the hot season with cold water. Enjoy it in style. This item was discovered after many years and was previously unused, having been stored away. While you might not need it for showing off, if you're drinking alone at home, you could just put ice, alcohol, and room temperature water in a glass, or dilute your drink with cold water from a plastic bottle. However, a water pitcher might be used for serving cold water to guests or for photography. For example, when uploading photos to Instagram or shooting videos about alcohol on YouTube. The volume that fits in a glass is 150mL to 180mL per serving. If you push it to the limit, almost overflowing, you can pour up to 200mL. The pitcher's capacity is 600mL. Although it's originally a drinking vessel, some people use it to keep water by their bedside to drink when they wake up at night. In that case, a water pitcher isn't necessary; a cup or a water bottle would do. If you use a plastic bottle, you can also use a cooler box. When shipping, I will reuse a cardboard box, turning it inside out for packaging, and will ship it via the anonymous Rakuraku Mercari service through Yamato Transport. #Instagrammable #PhotographicDrinkware #Mizuwari (Water Dilution) #DrinkingAtHome #DrinkingAloneAtHome
