21 Coffee Bathing P 127.

 

 

　　When the Japanese as you "Would you like some coffee?" think twice before you answer. In Japan, it is quitepopular to have a "coffee hath." For about US$20, you can get a ground coffee bath; that is, they "boil" youin coffee. The coffee smells good, but you'll probably feel the heat. It sounds like fun, doesn't it?
Well, the Japanese don't do it for fun. They believe it helps cure diseases. Who knows? Maybe it's true. Butin spite of what they say, I'll just take my coffee in a cup, thank you.
