    I have no idea what any of that means, but I’ve recognised the word “coffee” on the cup and everything else became irrelevant. I want one.

      The cup is using Japanese letters that look somewhat like English letters to spell “Soul of Coffee”. The comment is how those letters are read in Japanese.

        Ooooooh, that makes a lotta sense! I really should’ve abused my first ex’s willingness to share her knowledge of Japanese…

        I’ve been learning Japanese for over two years now and English is not my native language. I had no idea what was going on.

      No wonder why I couldn’t read that, I was trying to read the Japanese because I’m learning it

      It’s not Japanese, they really should not do that because their going to confuse a lot of bilingual folk
