Wagamama Still Water

Wagamama sells still water at £2.50, 0 kcal of anything, the baseline of every menu and the glass this site owes one honest paragraph. The price is published and buys the bottle, the chill and the table it arrives at.

Two things belong on the record. First, tap water is free in UK restaurants serving alcohol by law, wagamama included; ask and it arrives, no purchase needed, which makes the bottle a choice rather than a necessity. Second, against spicy food water is the weakest tool on the list: capsaicin is oil soluble, water spreads it, and the sweet drinks two lines up genuinely work where this glass cannot.

Order the bottle for the chill and the convenience, the tap for the principle, and either beside rich food where water's neutrality is exactly the point. Vegan, gluten free, and beyond the reach of any dietary argument ever devised.
