I don't know if this is done outside of my family but I've never seen anyone in Japan do it...medeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066575445602451389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22588937.post-6548454496162356372007-12-28T01:16:00.000+09:002007-12-28T01:16:00.000+09:002007-12-28T01:16:00.000+09:00Central heating.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15003371320593802441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22588937.post-52065494745848149352007-12-25T00:12:00.000+09:002007-12-25T00:12:00.000+09:002007-12-25T00:12:00.000+09:00Maybe English tea cups insulate liquids better?<BR/><BR/>Similar mystery - Coffee in certain mugs tastes better than in other mugs, even if the drink is from the same pot.
