Yes, you heard that right. Garlic-Flavored cola. Fizzy sweet cola with a pungent garlic taste. It’s a thing now. In Japan, of course, because where else? Locally known as ‘Jats Takkola’, the unusual drink was released last month. It is produced in the city of Aomori, which is known for the huge amount of garlic that is harvested every year in July.
The drink consists of cola mixed with finely ground garlic. Those brave enough to try it are advised to turn the bottle slowly before consumption, in order to mix the settled pieces of garlic. The makers say that the drink is as tasty as regular cola, with a supposedly pleasant aftertaste of garlic.
Interestingly, the labelling on the bottle doesn’t mention garlic at all, so it could be used to surprise unsuspecting friends. ‘Jats’ is actually a sound made in surprise in the local Aomori dialect – the makers decided to add it to the name because they say there’s no way you won’t shout in surprise after tasting it.
