Japan is famous for having weird products or inspiring weird versions of existing products. And while i am fully aware that "weird" is culturally relative, sometimes weird is just plain weird. I often document the strange flavours of chips or drinks or odd food preparations but today i am looking at soda.

Azuki flavored Pepsi. For those of you who don't live in Japan, azuki is a type of reddish, sweet bean that is often used in sweets and desserts here.
And if weird beans or exotic tea in your cola isn't your cup of... soda, there's always the classic Pepsi approach to upgrading a soft drink: Add more rush!! Pepsi Max: Ginseng and More Caffeine! WOO!!! Pfft! Red Bull wannabes.
This last one isn't actually from Japan. It comes from a supermarket in North America, which kind of figures since Japan has all the energy drinks it could ever want already.
