What the hell is a 'Blue Mountain'?


In the scene in the bar (starts @ 27:02) when Naoko and her brother the detective order Blue Mountains, they're met by the professor, Miura. Then HE orders a Blue Mountain. Are they ordering cocktails? Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee? What? WHAT THE HELL IS A BLUE MOUNTAIN!?!? LOL Someone please enlighten me. Thank you.

I picked up on their drink orders and thought they were funny too, especially when the professor shows up late and orders the same thing.

I lived in Tokyo from 2003-2009 and cannot say I heard anyone order a Blue Mountain. I wish I had rewatched this movie while I was still there so I could have asked.

I would guess it cannot be an alcoholic drink because Shindo was on duty as a cop, the girl is very demure and protecting the princess, and the professor has to later hike back down into the canyon!

I think it's just a blend of coffee, like Green Mountain here in the US.

That drink was clear. BTW didja notice the bartender serves the DR. before he asks for it?

Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee?


That's the right answer.
