Enjoy Summer Japan Vibes With These 6 Drinks

Have you ever gone to a sushi place and seen one of those tea cups with all the different kanjis on them? Did you ever wonder what they said? Well, with the OTSUKA Do Yunomi Green Tea Bag, you can have your tea cup and keep it too! Green tea is enjoyed for its color, fragrance, and taste, and this product will give you all three in the tea it makes. It comes with 10 tea bags that’ll give you multiple cups of perfect green tea, without having to clean up loose tea leaves. Enjoy it with sushi, snacks, or any other Japanese foods that are sumptuous or simple. Be sure to boil your water but then let it cool a bit before pouring it into your tea cup for the best result!

If you’re a coffee drinker, you’ll love this beverage. If you’re not a coffee drinker, you’ll still love this beverage. The first reaction you’ll probably have when you twist open the cap with that satisfying crack is, “Wow, this smells great.” And the taste is just as you’d hope for from a black coffee: strong and bold, but still light on the palate, and not too acidic. It’s quality coffee that might surprise you, given that you can get this drink from a vending machine pretty much anywhere in Japan. The drink also comes in a resealable bottle, so you can either chug it like a champ or choose to nurse it over time.

Asahi is one of the most established beer companies in Japan, and it’s no wonder that their Dry Zero tastes like, well, beer! If you want something to accompany your ramen at home but have to get up early the next day, reach for this drink. It tastes and smells like beer, though mysteriously it has both more sweetness and bitterness, as well as a bit of an herbal taste. If you pour it into a chilled glass, you’ll find that it has a beautiful yellow color, almost like champagne. It does go flat a bit faster than real beer, so you might want to drink it straight from the can to enjoy its fizziness more. You’ll also be delighted to know that, in addition to being alcohol free, it also has zero calories, zero sugar, and zero fat! Score.
