The following list of 10 weird Japanese Pepsi variations is a submission for the July 2011 Japan Blog Matsuri.
Limited edition green, cucumber-flavored Pepsi sold in Japan in summer 2007. There were no cucumber involved to actually make it, just a combination of artificial flavors to achieve “the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber”.
Limited edition green shiso-flavored soda introduced in Japan during summer 2009. Shiso is the Japanese name for perilla. The perilla herb is sometimes known as purple mint, Japanese basil or or wild coleus.

Fist bump to Loco in Yokohama for shining the bat-signal from the rooftop of his blog in his call for submissions to the Summer 2011 edition of Hot Fun in the Summertime! He rocked the house with the Summer 2010 edition with a groove so funktagious that he is here to do it all again. Check out my submission from last year: Beers, beaches and bikinis.
Now that’s a catchy slogan! xD
The feeling is very likeable… Sheesh man, you mean that I reveled in the relaxing atmosphere and basked in the... It was an awesome view, breathtaking sunsets! Muchas gracias!
I don’t really worry about credit given; use of the picture is satisfaction... I haven’t had the pleasure. When life serves you a six-pack of Zero Life, you better start drinking. I reckon Orion should come out with a converse product to corner the other side... Nice work on the pic Billy! Best choice out of the limited range available by...
