Japanese Drinking like a Fish

Grog is sold in convenience stores and vending machines, so accidentally getting an alcoholic drink from a vending machine when you can't read the language is bit of a gaijin hazard.

1. Kirin Lemon: Doesn't taste as sickly sweet as lemonade, probably the favourite thus far.

2. Suntory Pop White Soda: Suntory is a large Japanese brewery, Pop is just to distinguish it from their harder grog. I still have no idea what this drink was - I think it may have been a sweetly tasting slightly alcoholic energy drink...? :/

3. Match: Kind reminds me of Lucozade - fizzy vaguely citrus but with the definiative aftertaste of pointlessly added vitamins and minerals that is just going to go straight through you.

4. Vitamin CC Lemon: Lemon cordial and soda water.

5. Mitsuya Cider: It's like soda water but with a creaming soda after taste. Nothing in Japan with "cider" on it is actually cider.

6. Aquarius: I think they took water and mixed in some lemon cordial.

Kaiju Collected:
