Julia J asked:
I’ve been researching on the internet, and found a few sites that say it’s most common in Japan to drink it with cream and sugar. However, in all the Japanese dramas and movies I’ve seen, they always drink black coffee, unless it’s in a café. Does anyone who has had experience in Japan have an answer to this?

Leftcoast USA added these pithy words on Oct 02 08 at 3:34 pmIt’s most common to drink coffee with cream and sugar, but there’s this notion that it’s sophisticated and mature to drink coffee black. I don’t think black coffee drinking will go away any time soon in TV dramas and movies.
Aside from liquid cream a powdered cream by the product name of Creap (”cream” + “powder”) is popular.
Half and half is unheard of.
Japan is a country where canned coffee is very popular. Most of it has a lot of sugar and dairies added. An ad for the few canned straight coffee touts how manly and mature it is to drink that.
Now, green tea, on the other hand, can only be consumed straight. It would be no less than odd to sweeten green tea, so the rest of the world is considered strange for doing that.
