明日待子

During the war, the Japanese government utilized her for national policy and featured her in various war posters and publishings, including “idol” magazines published by the Army/Navy intended for soldiers on the battlefield. Many soldiers looked forward to receiving the magazine.

電気ブラン
Denki Bran
Denki Bran is a brandy cocktail drink that was created in the Kamiya Bar of Asakusa, Tokyo in the 1890s. The word “denki” means electricity, and “bran” stood for “brandy”.
During the Meiji era when electricity was still considered a rarity, many electric novelties were called “denki (something)”. At that time, imported Western-style goods were considered stylish and attracted people’s attention. Hence the decision to name the drink “Denki Bran”.
