When It's Acceptable to Overfill

The extent that overfilling is part of the experience and the infrastructure that is required to support this.

Photos show: sake from a Shimokitazawa izakaya; an Izu Koogen balcony bath wet rooms being the norm in Japan; and for this coffee-junkie at least, the ritualistic filling of a cafetière to the brim to ensure that grits make it into the cup.

Digital equivalents?
