Buy plastic bottled water at vending machines and convenience stores, drink water from a water server at work, etc., and order carbonated water at restaurants. In that way, when did we come to find value in delicious water and pay for it?

During the Edo period, water supply was maintained in Edo City, and it was possible to use it from the water supply well. However, the downtown area is often troubled with drinking water due to the influence of the Sumida River and the ground. That's where the business of becoming a "water store" was born. However, it was the water supply that the water store sold. It can be said that value was found not only in the water itself but also in the labor of transporting the water.

It was in the Meiji period that mineral water like today was visible. In the 1980sYokohama・ It is said to be the beginning of bottling water from natural mineral springs for foreigners in the settlements of Kobe.

After entering the Showa era, mineral water was utilized mainly for business use. Whiskey is booming in the 1960s. Backed by that, industrial mineral water was booming. But still, rather than taste the water itself, maybe it was a back-up treatment to drink more deliciously?

And in the late Showa 1980's, household mineral water will be at hand. Around 1984, mineral water named “Tanigawa mountain range source water Dai Shimizu” has been sold at stations of Japan National Railways. "Da Shimizu" will continue for more than 20 years until 2006ekinakaIt has been popular as “Delicious Water”. People who are familiar with the name of “Oshimizu” are quite many, aren't there ?!

If you unravel the history of “delicious water”, you will notice that demand is increasing year by year. Given the harsher summer climate than ever before, that wish will continue to grow in the future ...!

Not only the types of products but also the way of drinking water is diversifying. For example, how to drink called "detox water"! Have you ever seen a water server full of fruits and other things in a stylish cafe or restaurant, even if you've never made it yourself?
