PepsiCo's innovation continues in Japan with a bold new flavor, the Pepsi Zero Mint, designed specifically to pair with Yakisoba, a popular stir-fried noodle dish. After success with the karaage-themed variant, this minty twist on Pepsi Zero is set to hit shelves on June 13.
PepsiCo has created a new type of Pepsi Zero, and this time, it was specifically made to be drunk with Yakisoba, which is a type of stir-fried noodles in Japan. According to SoraNews24, the Pepsi Zero Mint will also be locally called “Yakisoba Senyo Cola,” which means a cola drink that is exclusive for Yakisoba.
The unique beverage is not yet out in stores, but some people had the chance to taste it already through pre-sales taste-testing events. They reviewed the product, and since the label on the can clearly show it is a mint-flavored drink, they expected the minty taste.
With this, they want to know how this minty cola will taste with Yakisoba. It is a unique pairing, so many are curious, and based on the feedback, the Pepsi Zero Mint goes well with the stir-fry noodle and the mint taste is not overpowering, so the taste is well-balanced.
In any case, it was noted that this is the fourth unique Pepsi with food pairing to hit the Japanese market. Now they expect the cola to be the next favorite meal partner in the upcoming festivals and food events for the summer.
Finally, Funglr reported that the Pepsi Zero Mint Yakisoba Exclusive is set to be released across Japan on Tuesday, June 13. Customers may buy them from some select local retailers and online via Amazon.co.jp and Rakuten Ichiba. The new product is arriving at a recommended retail price of 160 yen or about $1.15.
