Yo,
I think I`ll make a series out of the soft drinks :D cos I love them so much :D
Pepsi Nex
Every summer in Japan, Pepsi release a new flavour for a limited run, e.g. Salty Watermelon and Iced Cucumber. So unless this year`s hasn`t actually been released yet, I`ve been very disappointed with Pepsi Nex. It`s just Pepsi Max.
There`s also Pepsi Special, which apparently has a fat-blocking agent, but it tastes exactly the same as Nex...
Skal Blue
Remember Skal, the milk-based lemonade from my last Soft Drink post? This is the same thing, except instead of lemon flavour it`s a bubblegum-y taste. DELISH. I love this. It`s got such a weird hue, almost a glow, and it reminds me of Nuka-Cola Quantum from Fallout 3. So naturally I feel like a complete badass when I drink it. Speaking of cool colours...
Fanta Melon
Gosh I love this. Despite the colour, it`s got a really fresh, fruity taste and is very popular in Japanese restaurants. Reminds me a bit of tropical juice except fizzy. It`s also very very sweet. Though it`s harder to find in vending machines, so for now it`s a treat when (and if) I`m in a restaurant with friends or my host family.
Ug glug glug.
Also, for some reason the "Share A Coke" campaign here doesn`t have names, but years. I suppose people look for their birth year or something. Not as cool as Germany, where I spotted this gem...
yep. Bad picture but they`re real.
Laters!

Soft Drinks #1
Hey y'all,
still haven`t figured out photos yet. Sorry :(
at the mo all photos are courtesy of Google.
Today`s post is about Japanese soft drinks :D
Ramune
GLORIOUS RAMUNE
ahem. I really like Ramune. My host mother bought the family a 6 pack when I arrived and it`s lovely! The one we have is Original flavour, which is kind of like a bubblegum-lemony flavour. The cool thing is that there`s a marble in the lid so when you open it, it just floats about in the top of the bottle :D I love it.
Skal
This drink is the most weirdly delicious thing I have ever tasted. It`s lemonade made with skimmed milk and I don`t know why but it is absolutely delicious. I would drink it all day if I could. NOM NOM NOM~
Dragonball Cider
Lemon-lime drinks are called cider in Japan for some reason. This one in particular is really cool because of the cans :D They're only 100yen each so I've got one in my room that I don`t want to open because it looks deadly...so I don`t know how it tastes. But a different brand, Mitsuya Cider, is lovely so hopefully this will be too.
That`s all I`ve tried so far. Sorry this is a short post, I have to go to bed early because tomorrow I am going to THE POKEMON SHOP~~~~~
Night all!
