10/25 food break

todays new items are
Azuki (japanese red bean) pepsi and cola mentos

every year pepsi japan releases seasonal flavors. for example this summer they release shiso (plum) pepsi, a few years ago during winter they release cinnamon pepsi and (kyuri) cucumber pepsi

this fall they release azuki pepsi. azuki are the traditional red beans used in a lot of japanese sweets. so i guess pepsi figured what the hell, decided making their own version.

taste. at first you dont really taste the azuki, then as you swallow it you begin to taste it. it leaves a really strong red bean flavor in your mouth.

opinion. not a fan, the aftertaste is harsh, by far the worst tasting seasonal flavor. the cucumber tasted like crystal pepsi which was effing awsome, the cinnamon was good, shiso was so-so, made an awesome mixer with alcohol. maybe i can mix this with some awamori i have.
ranking
★★
Azuki
Shiso
Kyuri



now for something awesome.
cola mentos, idk if they have these in the states but i was already a big mentos fan (the strawberry one) but this things are freakin gold. its like crack, once you eat one you cant stop till the tube is finished, then you wanna go get more.
