Japanese Drinks #5: Vitalising veggies

Most of Japan’s bewildering selection of beverages sit comfortably in a certain category, but Asahi’s Vegesh is as nonconformist as its name, happily striding various varieties. You see, not only does it contain 21 vegetables and 5 different kinds of fruit, but rather cannily, it is also a cocktail, packing a fairly respectable 4 percent of alcohol.

A unique combination that allows one to stay healthy while at the same time getting happily hammered, which, judging by the quality of the video below, is exactly what this YouTube user was doing when they uploaded this woefully crap copy of the current commercial.

Oh, and as far as taste goes, it’s surprisingly pleasing — almost Fanta-esque in its fizzy freshness. Plus, after feeling especially thirsty and firing down five, all that fruit and fibre has left me feeling in fine fettle.

    I’m not sure how I feel about this…. So confused. I can get my vitamins and minerals for the day… While having fun… Is it fair?

    I feel ashamed.
