drinks (Page 51)
Less than 50 sake breweries in Japan are female-owned, and this crowdfunding project offers a chance to sample brews from a dozen of them.
The new limited-edition beverage takes its inspiration from a traditional Japanese springtime confection.
A bottled Starbucks drink with a bit of fizz is coming out in Japan, and you’ll be able to grab one at a convenience store!
New dessert beverage lets you enjoy a uniquely Japanese taste without having to sit around in the same chain you have back home.
But you might need to grind for treasure before you can afford a bottle of this high-priced, high-quality scotch.
Because it’s never too early to start planning what kind of beer to bring to this spring’s cherry blossom viewing parties.
We won’t have to wait until the blossoms appear to enjoy sakura with our Coca-Cola this year.
It looks like a sakura drink, but it gets its colour from a different blend of ingredients.
People in Japan will be the first in the world to find out what the unique flavour combination tastes like.
Coming to Japan on winter vacation? Don’t forget your passport, or your local Frappuccino guide.
