清涼飲料の年間販売量 水が初のトップにBOTTLED WATER TOPS DRINK SALES

Thirsty consumers in Japan have gone back to basics. For the first time, a mineral water product has become the nation's best-selling non-alcoholic drink. The bottled H2O topped the decades-long leader, coffee, in 2018.
A private research firm says Suntory's "Tennensui," a natural mineral water, sold over 117 million cartons last year. That's up 8.6 percent from the previous year.
The Georgia coffee brand came in second, with sales down 3.6 percent. Last year was the first time in 28 years for the product to fall from the No. 1 position.
Tap water is safe to drink in Japan, but officials at the research firm say bottled water sales have been on a steady rise. They also say a number of disasters that hit the country appear to have prompted people to stockpile water, and last summer's scorching heat is also believed to have boosted demand.
