Shiso Pepsi Tasting & Review (Filmed in Japan)

http://tinyurl.com/shiso-pepsi

June 25, 2005, Japan - Tasting Shiso Pepsi for the first time. Pepsi authentically bottled the flavor of shiso - but does it make for a tasty beverage?

Note: While Shiso Pepsi has the citrus-like background notes of Pepsi, there isn't a hint of cola flavor. Sweetened Shiso + Bitter Lime/Citrus.

I think Xerius is probably right - it would mix well with alcohol.

It tastes a bit like a bubbly drink mixer without the booze to cut the sweetness.

Shiso Pepsi on the rocks, with some light rum, a squirt of lime, garnished with a shiso leaf would probably make for a nice, more savory mojito.

Me, too! Good ears. The soda landed next to the speaker, close enough to pick up the fizzing noise!

Ive got a bottle of that in the mail coming my way direct from Sapporo. God bless E-bay, even if it was overpriced at 3.50 a bottle plus S$H of 7 dollars.

So all in all, a 10 dollar bottle of pepsi is headed my way and based on this and other review videos, it's going to be both the most expensive litre of pop I'll have bought to date and the most foul tasting. Even so, I can't wait to try it. I've never tried Shiso before so it should be a very unique experience!

lol i'd buy it on a regular basis. it was sooo good imo.

It's definitely an acquired taste, but then so is shiso itself. For reference to those that actually enjoy it, it mixes well with vodka.
