Pimm's and Cider


An unlikely combination, but it works. Why?
When I first arrived in Japan, perhaps on the second day, I walked out to get a soft drink from the vending machine. Already choosing her drink was a young girl. She was perhaps 8 years old. She chose Mitsuya Cider.
'Ka-chank'. Down came the bottle. She took the bottle and walked off.
... and me with my jaw on the floor. "Perhaps it's for her parents?"
Mitsuya Cider is really a lemonade style drink. Lemonade in the British sense. Seven Up with a different label. For anybody living in Japan it may be the only option when drinking Pimm's at home.
If the photo or these words are a little off, well, those bottles didn't empty themselves.
