This past summer I wrote about Pepsi Blue Hawaii which for me was more of a novelty than an actual good drink. Not surprisingly it was off the market within a mere matter of weeks. Since it was the second annual summer-only drink from Pepsi, I was quite surprised to find Pepsi’s newest offering, Pepsi White, not but a week ago in the Fall. According to the bottle it’s a mix of “Pepsi and Yogurt” which I have to admit doesn’t sound the least bit appealing, if even fit for human consumption. Very much to my surprise it was one of the best sodas I’ve had in a very long time.
For those who haven’t tried many Japanese drinks the taste may be a bit difficult to describe since my first thought was that it reminded me of a perfected version of the also white soda called Shiroi Natchan. Aside from that, Pepsi White has a crisp and light flavor that goes down remarkably smooth for a carbonated soda. So far I’ve only seen it in small bottles, but I’d stock up on it for sure if they made larger sizes. On a side note, I’ve only been able to find the regular Coke that everyone knows and loves in 1 liter sizes at best. I have no idea if Pepsi White I is available anywhere else in the world but I’m assuming it’s only in Japan. Either way, two thumbs for Pepsi White.
Oh nice!! I’ve been able to obtain the Ice Cucumber and Blue Hawaii. I didn’t even realize that this was out. I’m going to have to find some. Thank you so much for the article.
This is a new drink to me. I had never thought that there would be a combination of yogurt and soda from Japan, but I should of expected this seeing as they have a soda called Ramune with a marble that seems slightly like a game. I wish I could try Pepsi White, because it honestly sounds like an interesting drink. Thanks for the article on this soda and I hope you don’t mind if I bookmark your blog and read through it. Japan has always been a place I’ve wanted to visit.
