In Japan, you can drink the tap water. In Tokyo. In a Nagano mountain village. In a town nobody’s heard of. Anywhere. Not because the country is rich. Not because they import it. Because the public water has to pass 51 quality checks by law. More than most bottled water. Restaurants pour it free. Children drink it from the schoolyard tap. Old men fill their cups from the kitchen sink the same way their grandfathers did. Think about the last time you didn’t think twice before drinking from a faucet. In Japan, that’s not luxury. That’s the floor. Something the whole country quietly built for each other.
