American Cola

So Ms. Noodle picked this up at a discount store in Japan. She wanted to see if it was like our American Cola and also if it tasted better then the Pepsi over there(Ms. Noodle isn't a Pepsi fan). Ms. Noodle liked this a lot she thought it was really close to Coca-cola or was a good replacement for not having any there. I am not sure what the brand is other then it's American flare of a can. I recommend for the price that we got it which was like 75 cents.

Suntory Strawberry Milk

This was like strawberry milk but not. It wasn't actual milk and it was kinda like skim milk but it tasted like strawberries. It wasn't bad and it can in a small can which is fine, not sure I would drink an entire larger can in one go. I do like their smaller cans over there in Japan. This is made by Suntory and is enjoyable but by no means not like a strawberry milk from the grocery isle in the states. 

Kirin Mets Grapefruit

This soda is amazing. I tried it on my first trip to Japan and just fell in love with it. I love grapefruits and this soda is so refreshing. I had a hard time coming across it in a vending machine in Tokyo but found it pretty easily in Kyoto. My first trip I only noticed this one and Met's Cola along Kirin's Mets line but now there are some other fruit flavors. I have noticed a lot more grapefruit soda drinks last year then 3 years ago.  This drink has such a nice sweet grapefruit flavor inside. I think about ordering a case and having it delivered here in the states but know it would be costly. YES GET THIS.

Suntory Horoyoi chu-hi Peach

More fruity alcohol?! I will buy! I love peaches and this is like and alcoholic peach drink that is carbonated. Only 3% you can probably go through a lot of these. It taste great and Suntory did a great job. I wish I found out about these on my earlier trips rather then this last one because I would have had these all the time. It isn't a sin to walk the streets of Japan drinking alcohol either! Drink it like a soda with a kick, Yes you have to try these. 

kirin Mets Litchi

So this is from my trip to Japan last year. Man it seems to have been awhile but all the food reviews and images that are from that trip were from my phone so sorry about that. I love Met's drinks from Kirin. My first trip to Japan there was Met's Cola and Met's Grapefruit (all time favorite). This last trip I found that there were more offered in the line. This is one of them. I picked it up at a 7-Eleven and boy did it have some carbonation. It had the refreshing feel to it but I was not sold on the taste. I may be biased because my tastes for Lychee has dropped really. Other then that I can see it to be really enjoyable.   

Nescafe Cafe Viet

So I picked this up at the local super market. This is a small box that has I think 16 packs in it, I can't remember since they are all gone now. You heat up the water and dump the powder into the glass. You can ice it by putting ice in it as well. Now the first time I had it was pretty nice. The taste is right for that Vietnamese coffee but the feel of it on the mouth was odd. It's like it made it super creamy and would leave an after taste a lot longer then you wanted. After a few more into it, I reminded myself that sometimes I get hooked on bad coffee and I was wondering if that was happening here. Ms. Noodle and others tasted it from my cup and were revolted. I will probably not pick this up again, I'll grab some other instant coffee for sure. 

Wilkinson Gingerale Vodka

This was Ms. Noodles free drink at the Robot Restaurant and Show. It is a pre bottle ginger ale and vodka. Very low in alcohol content as you can not really taste the vodka but it makes the ginger ale have a kick. If I was in the mood for a ginger ale I would totally get this. 5% seems low for my local brewery here of beer which makes them between 5-10% (heavy stuff). I could probably keep drinking these before you really feel it. 

FOCO Coconut Water with Mango

This is apparently 100 % coconut water. It has zero % fat, 5 electrolytes, no cholesterol and no sugar added. It has a good amount of potassium as well. It taste just like some coconut water with a slight mango taste. I myself (Mr. Tea) don't like coconut water/milk it isn't for me but the slight mango flavor that is in this makes it more enjoyable. I am not sure if I will get it again but it is good for you so maybe I will. I would be willing to try out some more flavors like peach or strawberry. I'm on the fence, it isn't amazing but it's not bad. The nutrition out of it I guess should be worth it.

3:15PM Milk Tea Original Milk Tea

This is pretty interesting. We love milk tea and this was an original flavor. There were a few other flavors and I am sure we will try them out at some point. So you heat up or boil some water and put it in your mug/cup. Then you put one of these tea bags in it and let it steep. It has the tea and dry milk powder I guess but it actually taste pretty good. I really want to try the others. It shows on the side of the box on what to do if you want it iced or what not. I'd get it again, but more flavors next for sure!

Pepsi Sakura limited edition Flavor

This is a bottle of Pepsi that is not it's typical brown color. This is a Pepsi with pink coloring and the label says Pepesi Sakura with purple and pink on it. Nice pleasing bottle. The soda does smell fruity and has some nice carbonation in it. I am not sure I like the flavor which is the flavor of sakura/blossoms cherries. I do not like cherry flavored things so much and this taste like cherry which is what it's going with. It reminds me slightly of Mountain Dew Code Red which I do not like. It is a bit better though then the latter.

Aiken Azuki Essence Water

So this was interesting walking by this in the store. This is a bottle of reddish water that has the essence of red bean or azuki. It really taste like red bean. It is kinda weird since I usually have red beans, or red bean paste or red bean ice cream but this is just water. I may not ever get it again just cause there are other drinks I'd rather get but it was different. 

Jasmin Tea Fujian Tea Import & Export Co.

This tea has a strong fragrance about it. I actually end up using some other black or green loose tea leaves to mellow it out. Essentially it is just black tea that has been heavily scented with jasmine. In small doses it is pretty good but I do have to water it down or use other teas with. There are larger cans of this but I got the small can. The can is nice and I like the color, keeps the aroma inside and not all over. 

yummm

C-Heart Funassyi Furi-furi Shake DIY Kit

This was fun to do. So you fill to the top of the line with milk, add a ice cube and the powder that come with the cup. Place the lid on the top of the cup, shake it all up and enjoy it. Was surprisingly tasty but not enough. Was a little chunky and was pretty much solid banana flavoring. I think I would do it  again but really I just want to make a quick drink. 

Yamamotoyama Green Tea Sushi Bar Style

Yamamotoyama makes some good tea that is for sure. This is there Green Tea Sushi Bar Style. It has a nice green tea flavor and I leave it in long for the strong flavor. Gosh you can open the bottom of the box and pull out individual bags. Green Tea is always good for you. I didn't get a chance to take the picture when I first bought this because we flew through it fast. This is number 2 and we would buy another as soon as this one is over. Probably one of the best plain green tea bags that I have had. If I don't want to make anything with my loose tea leaves, this is it. 

Celio Lifeguard Drink

This taste like Red Bull. The can is more exciting then the Red Bull cans but it does taste like Red Bull. I'm not a big fan of Red Bull and I guess this is an energy drink as well. The color of the drink is also JUST like Red Bull. If I need a fix, I will get this but as an everyday thing or weekly thing I will pass. 

Pachishuwa Dynamite Melon Soda

More Melon "soda". Not really a soda but it comes in a plastic tube like another one that I have tried. You bite or cut off the end of it and drink it. It is a bit more like jello in a tube. Wasn't bad. Like Gogurt but Gojello. Did taste like Melon though and I would like to try other flavors, I might just grab one at a store sometime if I come across it again. I recommend putting it in the fridge to get a cold experience. 

Hotachino Nest Japanese Classic Ale

Very strong in flavor. A little too much for my but can see some people liking a nice heavy flavored beer/ale. Pretty expensive though at like 4-6$ a bottle at Total Wine. Little intense, but do like the bottles.

Hoshi Plum Wine

Not to bad. Not a really syrupy but good. I don't like the really strong alcohol taste of some plum wines but this is pretty good. 

Ramune Litchi Flavor

Yea, I'm still not feeling the Litchi flavor but someone gave this to me as a gift. Obviously these sodas are better cold. Ramune are those bottles that I see everywhere that has a Asian food area. Heck you can get them near Anime Merchandise as well that I have seen. Well this flavor wasn't me, I have been trying it a few times as candies and I have decided that I am done with Lychee Litchi flavor is just a pass. Still has that carbonation though. Plenty of other flavors out there for people, if you are interested. 

pokka sapporo Ribbon Grapefruit

I love me some grapefruit drinks and such. This is from pokka sapporo and it is a lot like pocari sweat but grapefruit flavored. The color of the drink looks a lot like pocari sweat as well. Wasn't that bad, I couldn't really taste"grapefruit" but could tell that it was citrus. All in all not bad drink.
