I have never ceased to be amazed by the beverage vending machines of Japan. There are always a wide choice of variety ranging from sport drinks to mineral water to tea to coffee and others for one to choose from. Occasionally, there are even seasonal beverages, new types of drinks or even new flavors up for grasp. The vending machines are never left empty. The stocks are always replenished even at the most remote part of the country.
See, this vending even has a LCD display showing latest new!
Just wondering if there are other people besides me who will try to read the news?
日本に来た外国人がまず驚くのは、自動販売機の豊富さです。
特に飲み物の自動販売機はいたる所にあり、コーヒー、紅茶をはじめ、ジュースやミネラルウォーターなど品揃えも豊富で、とても便利です。それに良く管理されていて商品が切れることなどありません
写真の自動販売機にはLCDディスプレイが付いており、最新のニュースが流れています。日本の自動販売機はどこまで便利になるのでしょうか (^ ^;
By the way, you don’t need to understand japanese to identify which are the cold drinks or which are the hot drink ones. Its differentiated by the color of the price tags where blue represents cold drink and red represents hot drinks.
