"Coca Cola Plus Catechin" makes you feel odd with Green Tea flavor

You all know that there are bunch of strange-flavoerd soft drinks in Japan such as cucumber Pepsi, but this "Coca Cola Plus Catechin" flavored with green-tea based additive is over the top. It may amuse you Japan-addicts a lot.

Read on for detail.

Nutrition facts. 0Kcal per 100ml. Coca Cola is now holding a giveaway campaign using the number on the back of the cap

"Green Tea flavor Cathechin mixed" phrase doesn't sound like coke discription.

No ordinary cola smells like this.

Comparison. Left: "Coca Cola Plus Catechin" Right: Ordinary Coca Cola.

At first we were afraid that coke might mask the green-tea taste completely. But compared to the rather sour taste of normal coke, "Plus" tastes mellow and of course green-tea-ish. In fact, green tea flavor seems to match cola flavor, kind of addictive. Too bad the product is sesonal.
