Japanese beer brand Yona Yona Ale has introduced a unique beer glass called Furatsuku, aimed at promoting responsible drinking habits. The Furatsuku Beer Glass features a divider at the bottom, separating the contents into two sections: beer and water. To maintain stability, the amounts of liquid in the two parts should be roughly equal, preventing the glass from tipping over.
However, if one continues consuming only beer without sipping any water, the center of balance shifts, and the glass will topple, spilling the contents. The Furatsuku Glass is designed to ensure that even those fond of beer will take regular water breaks, as tilting the glass further back causes water to flow onto the drinker's forehead.
Yona Yona Beer Works pub in Tokyo's Shinbashi neighborhood will offer the Furatsuku Beer Glass starting August 5, while online purchases are available through the Yona Yona online store for ¥13,750 (US$88), with shipping expected in mid-September.
