The fourth photo in the Japrish image compilation (my own version of Engrish) is from a convenience store in Okayama.

The perfect mix… bourbon and water?!

Bourbon Water is easily the best of the funny Japrish translations when it comes to water. I haven’t actually spotted this too many times since, but everyday I spot similar brand/product names which just don’t make sense…

When I first came to Japan, 2 years ago, a good friend gave me a tip about photography: “as well as taking normal tourist photos, choose something in particular and take photos of that”. On his last trip overseas it was license plates. I decided to spot Japrish (Japanese that has been badly translated to English, my own version of Engrish) whilst travelling in Japan.
