The type of ice ball that is seen used in cocktails is sometimes referred to as a “Japanese ice ball,” because carving ice balls has apparently persisted in Japan's finer bars.
The reason for using an ice ball (this is when science lessons in school come in handy), is that the large mass of ice has a smaller surface area than a handful of smaller cubes added together, therefore melts more slowly and dilutes our drink less as we sip it.
The novelty of a spherical ice, brought to you by MUJI.
