While visiting a design office in tokyo my boyfriend and his friends were (not quite forced but) encouraged to drink a brown powder that was mixed in water. he claims it tasted and felt like drinking sand. the mixture didnt dissolve in the water very well and may have come in a large tin or box. <br> <br> the powder drink, he claimed, made him feel high and sleepy all day long. while not expecting it he did enjoy it. he claims it seemed like a commercial product.<br> <br> so does anyone have any idea what this is they may have been? it was seemingly readily available and used at this office. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.30958 Mon, 16 Jan 2006 21:26:33 -0800 drinks Japan kava powerdereddrinks c
