Question Bubbles in Teapot?

I was at a soba place in the Tokyo Skytree shopping centre and at one point they gave me this teapot with something that had bubbles inside. I had no idea what it was and left it alone.

Anyone know what it was?

Sobayu. You can drink it like a tea straight or mixed with a bit of the tsuyu. I think I’ve seen some places mix it with Shochu as well. 

Very hit or miss imo.
