Suntory Chocolate Sparkling
New from Suntory – a clear yellowy looking drink that is chocolate flavoured and sparkling. And yep, it does taste chocolatey and sparkly…

A new drink from Cheerio. Is this a Tabasco sauce flavoured soft drink? Come on, who the hell would wanna sip on some spicy soft drink? I think the package design is some kinda parody and the product is not affiliated with the Tabasco brand. The full name is Toranoco Nanchatte Cola – it’s supposed to be some fruity flavoured fizzy drink but tastes like anything but fruity.

It’s that time of the season again when drink makers come out with all kinds of funky flavoured drinks. This winter, the flavour is Azuki (red beans) for Pepsi. Does it taste like red bean? The first sip, yes it does!

… is Pepsi Japan’s latest offering for the winter and Christmas season (the packaging says it all). This, just like the Pepsi Ice Cucumber (summer 2007) and the Pepsi Blu Hawaii (summer 2008), is Japan exclusive and once again doesn’t taste like what it is supposedly engineered to taste like: Pepsi & Yogurt.

Unagi Nobori – eel drink
Step aside Pepsi Blue Hawaii and Pepsi Ice Cucumber. We in Japan have a new hotness in town – Unagi Nobori (うなぎのぼり) – which translates to ‘Surging Eel’ and is a new summer drink which hit the nation’s stores this month.

… from Pepsi Japan. Last Summer, Pepsi gave us the Japan-exclusive Pepsi Ice Cucumber. This summer, Pepsi gives us the exclusive Pepsi Blue Hawaii – Pineapple & Lemon.

That’s right folks, another new bizarre soft drink on the Japanese market. And indeed just like the title suggests, it is soda which tastes like… cucumber.
