Soft drinks aren't as popular in Japan as they are in the West: between the different variations of tea and coffee, energy drinks, and alcohol, the Japanese consume far fewer soft drinks than Westerners. When they do, though, they go for looks as much as they go for taste, hence the spectacular green melon sodas or red strawberry or purple grape Ramunes. And if you happen to be in Yamanashi, the deep blue of Fujisan Blue Cola.
Yamanashi (along with Shizuoka and Kanagawa) is a prefecture close to Mount Fuji (in Japanese, Fuji-san). The Japanese always think of the mountain as blue with a white peak. If blue sounds like an unusual color for a mountain, do a quick search for pictures of Fuji and you'll see that it really does looks blue from afar! The Fujisan Blue Cola has this color and if you serve it with foam, the white froth will add the snowy peak of the famous volcano. And since there are three 245 ml (8.3 fl oz) bottles here, you can enjoy this effect again and again!
