Did You Catch That? That Wasn't Water.
To say alcohol cut with water, usually whisky in Japanese, say 水割り (Mizuwari).
Did you catch that? 「水割り」 is not a glass of water.
In this video
- 水割りですね。 Mizuwari desu ne. So, alcohol cut with water, usually whisky.
Why this phrase
Izakaya counter. Hana plays the bartender and says 水割りですね. Kōfuku plays the tourist who catches only 水 and nods. 水割り is alcohol cut with water, usually whisky unless the shop is a shochu bar. Free water is already covered as お冷や and お水. This is the listen that puts a drink on the bill. Recognize it. Don't order it when you wanted water.
