Fanta Socata!? Now available exclusively from Japanese vending machines

Jun 13, 2019

New Japanese Fanta features a unique flavour from abroad.

One of the things we love about Japan is its plethora of vending machines, and all the weird and wonderful discoveries waiting to be found inside them.

Now we’re on the hunt for a new and unusual beverage, this time from Fanta, one of our favourite brands that’s seduced us before with their cool and creative Japan-exclusive flavours.

Their newest release is simply called “Socata!?“, and while that makes it a bit of a mystery at first, at the top of the can, the words “Fanta Delicious Flavours of the World” explain that this new beverage takes its inspiration from abroad.

So what exactly is socata? It’s actually a traditional Romanian soft drink made from elderflowers. It’s usually produced by naturally fermenting the flowers in a lemon and honey or sugar solution.

While Fanta Shokata, which contains the flavour of socata, has been a popular drink in Europe, the new Fanta Socata!? aims to introduce Japanese consumers to the delicious flavour of the Romanian beverage.

The new drink is being billed as “the perfect summer beverage to refresh you with an all-new flavour you’ve never tried before”. The drink itself is sure to catch everyone’s attention, with its gorgeous blue-and-white design, featuring a silhouette of a Romanian townscape, along with elderflowers and lemon.

As the first product in their new “Fanta Delicious Flavours of the World” series, we can’t wait to see what country they’ll take our taste buds to in the future. The new  Fanta Socata!? will be available exclusively from Japanese vending machines from 10 June until stocks sell out.
