I know it in the Japanese, "Mugi-Cha", roasted barley tea. It comes off
like a coffee substitute, and if the flavor reminds you of Sanka,
there's good reason isn't there? I know that the Koreans use it too but
I couldn't read the Korean to be able to tell you their name for it.
But as Master A points out, this is significantly different from western
"barley water" due to the roasting of the barley.
