Japanese drinks #1: Wonderful Wonda

In a new weekend feature that unfortunately will probably fade away in next to no time due to either forgetfulness or fizzy drink fatigue, Tokyo Times will sample a beverage from the multitudinous amount that can be found in the nation’s equally numerous convenience stores and vending machines.

So, first up, if you can somehow contain your excitement, is a can of, erm, canned coffee, which is arguably an appropriate start as this popular drink is now almost as much a part of the culture as sushi and soba.

Plus it’s wonderful as well.

Or at least it’s supposed to be anyway, but despite Asahi’s claims, Morning Shot’s sugary mix tastes much the same as the myriad of other coffee’s on the market, although it should offer enough of a boost to just about set a salary man on his the way to another twelve hour day and a trek on the train.
