Teacher Shelle6 Strangest Japanese Drinks
|
From curry-laced soda to “cheese drink”, here are some strange Japanese beverages you may not have heard of.  1. Curry and Wasabi Ramune Ramune is a popular Japanese soda that is usually fruit flavored, and is recognized by its unique bottle shape and glass bead stopper. However, Ramune also makes two strongly flavored sodas: Curry and Wasabi. The label on the curry flavored Ramune explains that it is actually a combination of curry and lemonade flavors.  2. Pepsi White/Yogurt Pepsi This limited edition version of Pepsi blended the sweet taste of cola with the creaminess and tartness of yogurt.  3. Fanta Furufuru Shaker This beverage starts off in a semi-gelled state, but when you shake it, the Fanta becomes carbonated.  4. NEEDS Cheese Drink Because Japan is an island nation, it has been historically hard to support a large dairy industry because of the limited amount of available land. Therefore, many Japanese people have never developed much of a taste for milk products. Today, however, some companies are hoping to introduce more dairy into the Japanese marketplace. One such attempt is NEEDS cheese drink, which reportedly tastes a bit like yogurt.  5. Coolpis Kimchi Fermented cabbage? Hot peppers? Sounds like a refreshing drink to me!  6. Breast Enlarging Drink Okkikunare brand drinks contain a soy additive that the company claims can increase breast size. “Okkikunare” literally means “make them bigger!” Pictured above are the mango and peach flavors. source: www.weirdasianews.com |
