Top Craziest Drinks Sold in Japan
- somedude895 6y ago> Bobocha launched in 1994 by Pokka: Bobocha is a blend of Chinese oolong tea leaves, Chinese Pu’er tea leaves, and sardines. You can't just mention sardines and then not talk about it.
- grok22 6y agoYeah, that was a weird one that had no commentary about the sardines which most people would've been curious about. Instead they mention Jackie Chan multiple times and he needs no explanation!
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 6y agoNo Pocari Sweat and no Chuhai? I wish I could find Chuhai in the US.
- TomMasz 6y agoDon't forget CowPiss, I mean Calpis!
- VistaBrokeMyPC 6y agoCalpis halved with cclemon might be the best way to rehydrate after a night of sake
- robotmay 6y agoPocari Sweat tastes like dispersible aspirin. I still don't know if I like it or not.
- junar 6y agoI think those are too mainstream for this article. From the looks of this, the products mentioned would be niche even to a Japanese audience.
- LysPJ 6y agoFor me, Pocari Sweat is the king of Japanese sports drinks. It has been a few years since I visited Japan, and I still have a unopened bottle of Pocari Sweat "on standby" :)
- elros 6y agoI enjoy Pocari Sweat, but I do worry about all the pocaris that may be harmed in the process of sweating them out to manufacture the drink.
- robotmay 6y agoMy local Japanese & Korean food store has something called "Morning Rice", which is, I believe, basically blended rice. It smells and tastes like liquid Shredded Wheat. It's not bad.
- myrandomcomment 6y agoMy favorite is オロナミンCドリンク. A few of these and a Pocari Sweat and some Ramen works wonders for hangovers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oronamin_C https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oronamin_C
- kgin 6y agoIt's a great example of an ecosystem flourishing around a built-out infrastructure. There are canned drink vending machines on seemingly every corner (commercial and residential) in Japan.
- dwd 6y agoThis list didn't include the craziest drink I found in a Japanese vending machine - a can of Boss coffee latte. I was expecting an iced coffee, instead it was hot enough I could barely hold the can.
- panda88888 6y agoJapanese vending machines are amazing. They sell both cold and hot drinks!
