Tea makes its appearance throughout the film. In fact, it opens with

You are not taking any shots, just avoiding the serious argument. That is
why I thanked you for honorable exit - which is obvious, if this is the best

In all seriousness, you really should watch this film, Alex. Having
never been to Japan, you'll certainly find it instructive. Goodness,
even I -- who lived there almost 10 years -- and my native Japanese wife
learned something. Did you know that roving tofu sellers used to
actually cut the tofu blocks into small, ready-for-soup pieces?
