Fanta Mango ファンタ豊潤マンゴー

Fanta Houjun Mango is a mango-flavored Fanta drink sold in Japan since 2014.

Taste
Despite having no mango juice inside, the taste of the drink is not artificial at all. This maybe due to the drink not using any artificial sweeteners. Overall, it's a fruity drink that tastes like carbonated mango juice.

KIRIN World Kitchen - Vitamina

KIRIN World Kitchen's Vitamina is a non-carbonated drink made with 5 types of berries, blackcurrant, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries. The drink also contains grape, grapefruit, and acelola juices and contains 450mg of vitamin C.
On the label of the drink, there is some text that describes how a mother in Sweden makes a syrup called "Saft" from berries picked during the summer. It goes on to say that Vitamina is made by mixing water and other fruit juices with Saft.


Taste
The drink is sufficiently sweet and has a very strong berry taste. Out of the berries, I found the raspberry to taste the strongest. Overall, it's an unusual and interesting drink to have.

Gogo No Koucha(午後の紅茶) Straight Tea

Gogo No Koucha, which literally means "Tea in the Afternoon", is a line of tea drinks sold by KIRIN in Japan, mainland China, and Taiwan.
The "Straight Tea(ストレートティー)" is one of their main products in their lineup and has been sold in Japan since 1984, the year Gogo No Koucha was first introduced into the market.

Ingredients & Taste
Gogo No Koucha Straight Tea uses 100% Ceylon tea leaves from the Dimbula region in Sri Lanka. It also contains a hefty amount of sugar so it's quite sweet. KIRIN claims that the Dimbula tea has a rose-like flavor, and I must admit, the product actually does have flowery and rose-like taste.
Overall, it's a well-made drink, and the flowery taste goes well with the sweetness from the sugars. For those who don't like sweetened tea, there is also Gogo No Koucha Oishi Mutou, which is unsweetened.

Gokuri Sweet Pineapple

Gokuri Sweet Pineapple is a fruit drink sold by Suntory in Japan, and is part of the "Gokuri" series. The drink contains 15% juice consisting of pineapple and lemon juice, sugar, fruit fibers, and fruit extract.

Taste
The fruit fibers give the drink an impression of freshly squeezed pineapple juice. However, since the drink is not 100% juice, it is not as viscous and is easier to drink than pure juice.
This makes the drink an excellent thirst-quencher during the hot Japanese summers.

ZERO SPARKLING Lime - Pokka Sapporo

Today's review is about this seasonal, limited-time, drink that was introduced in July 7th, 2014.

With a scent of citrus bursting out with every bubble, "ZERO SPARKLING Lime" is one very refreshing drink.

The drink is slightly bitter, just like real lime. However, the taste of lime maybe a little weak compared to the sufficient acidity of the drink.

Sweet and refreshing, and also zero-calorie, it's a nice drink to have in the summer.

Iyemon Green ESPRESSO(伊右衛門グリーン・エスプレッソ)

 When I first saw this product in a convenience store, I thought, "Green tea and espresso!?!? disgusting!". Out of curiosity, I bought it, expecting to have a can of green tea mixed with espresso coffee. However, upon looking at the ingredients, I found out that there was no coffee at all in this. What I found was some very nice green tea.

Description:
This product is marketed by the Suntory company which is based in Japan. On the label it says"伊右衛門"(pronounced Iyemon) which is a brand of teas by Suntory. According to Wikipedia Japan, Iyemon was the name of the founder of an old(traditional) tea company that dates back to 1790. Also on the label it says in English, ""Green ESPRESSO, A New Experience in Tea" Made to comfort, with its rich aroma and pleasant aftertaste." hmmm that sounds nice, by the way, why is espresso capitalized?? The only reason I can think of is that they wanted to emphasize that the tea is as strong as espresso...idk.
On the cap, it says, "Shake 5 times before opening"(in Japanese). They probably tell you to do this because there's some tea powder settled at the bottom of the can.

Taste:
The taste of this is that of freshly brewed green tea. I cannot believe that they we're able to recreate this taste in a compact can(that is shaped like a bottle). Phenomenal.
The aroma of this is very nice too. The one thing that's probably not good about this product is the color(non-transparent green).....but who cares? It tastes great.

SOYSH(ソイッシュ)

Here's my first review about a drink and it's called "SOYSH" and it's made by the Otsuka Pharamaceutical Company. 

Taste:
This tastes horrible to me. It's like you're drinking soy milk with sparkling water AND with peach juice. I am definitely not buying another one. In my opinion, "soy water" as they call it, should be drank as "soy water". The idea of combining creamy soy water with refreshing carbonated water sounds ridiculous and the result is, as expected, ridiculous. This product is marketed for people who don't like "soy water/milk", so I guess I shouldn't have bought it in the first place. Well, there are reviews out there which say this product is nice, so you should definitely try it out yourself.

Price:
100 yen
