Pepsi - Salty Watermelon Flavor

 













Origin - Japan
Rating - Good

Pepsi comes out with a couple weird new flavors every few months in Japan. You can only get them in Japan because Pepsi loves Japan and hates us, obviously. I managed to get one on eBay, they're expensive but sometimes someone sells them a little cheaper, you just have to watch. Anyways, despite it's weirdness, it's pretty good. The best way for me to describe it is "Faygo Red Pop" with a "Jolly Rancher" watermelon flavor but maybe a little less sweet. For those of you who've never had a Faygo Red Pop, just think strawberry pop that doesn't taste like strawberry.....just kinda red I guess. I couldn't detect any saltiness, that's probably a good thing. Salty watermelon just screams to be mixed with tequila (it just does!), so I whipped up a little cocktail that turned out a little weird (which is ok because I don't think anyone will ever get to try it).

Mystery Ramune, Condom Flavor?

 











Origin - Japan
Rating - Good
I wasn't sure what the flavor of this was when I bought it, what a risky experiment! It does have what appears to be a condom on the bottle so one can only assume it tastes like Alabama white fish.



After a sample, I'm pretty sure this is the popular "soda" flavor (it is blue for fuck's sake) that Japan likes to magically pump out. It's not bad and it's not too sweet like other "soda" (kinda like cream soda, cotton candy) products I've had. But you know what would make this even better? That's right,  
fuckin' booze!

Here's the recipe for a little cocktail I call:

The Innuendo:
1 OZ. Spice Box Spiced Whiskey
2 OZ. Condom Ramune
Ice

Kimura - Curry Ramune Flavour



Origin - Japan

Rating - Good (on it's own)/Not so good (as a cocktail)
Who could possibly say no to this product. Soda and curry are just such a natural fit. At first I thought the marble thing unnecessary and overly complex. But then I realized it was from Japan. They're light years ahead of us so I'm going to blindly accept this as superior technology. The drink tastes like a slightly flat ginger ale with a little extra spice. It really wasn't bad. Now the Sailor Jugdish I was not so fond of. It tasted like a crappy flat left over cocktail from the night before that you only drown to avoid the DT's.

When we first discovered the last remaining bottle of Curry Ramune at the "Lucky Supermarket", we knew it must come home with us. After doing a bit of research, I found that "Ramune" is lemonade! This is carbonated, curry flavoured lemonade. I thought, "it just doesn't get any stranger than this", until i saw Kimura's website. They have a spicy version as well. HMM? Anyways, the bottle itself is odd. After you remove the lid, you have to push a marble down and it *POPS* and fills with bubbles. Fun! The product itself has the appearance of canola oil and smells like dirt-cheese. Not promising but what the fuck. I discovered it actually tastes really good! It's light and slightly fruity with a definite curry taste. It reminded me of a spicy ginger beer that was a little bit citrus. My next logical thought was, "LET'S ADD BOOZE TO IT!!" and I grabbed a bottle of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. Try this if at all possible, it's crazy!

Calpico (Calpis) - Original Flavour



Origin - Japan
Rating- Good / Awesome
Next up Calpico or Calpis if you prefer. It appeared to be watery milk. There was definite fruit smell that's impossible to explain because there is no fruit in it! Once it's in your mouth it has a strange thickness. Not unlike Sunny D. But after your taste buds adjust, it's pretty good. And I never thought I would say these words but pour me another glass of Russian Cow Piss. This is what the Dude would drink if he went to the land of the rising sun.

What in Satan's love-jizz IS this stuff?? What we do know is that in North America it's called "Calpico", in Japan it's called "Calpis" (they changed the name so it doesn't sound like "cow piss"). I've even seen a bottle called "Calpis - Men's White Water", because that's definately better than cow-piss!! After opening the bottle, I noticed it has a very mild citrus smell, wasn't excpecting that. It has the flavour of maybe lemonade - yogurt, but very mild...maybe even a slight Kool-Aid taste. It's very watery but the texture is slightly thicker. What could improve on this? BOOZE, that's what.
