We saw the still version before but now we’ve got a four minute video clip from the outdoor, communal spas in Japan where you can take a bath in red wine, sake, coffee, green tea and even chocolate! (Do them all to complete the cycle.) The wine and coffee baths reputedly have anti-aging properties. A pale British reporter has the story–and provides a brief scare when he threatens to get in the bath himself.
