Golden Canned Shochu Cocktails

Iyoshi Cola Sour Has a Refreshing Profile and 3.5% ABV

The Iyoshi Cola Sour canned cocktail is the latest creation from the Japan-based brand that's crafted with taste and quality in mind to provide discerning sippers. The canned cocktail is crafted with the brand's signature cola to give it a golden profile that's mixed with traditional shochu for a modest 3.5% ABV that's perfect for savoring rather than quickly consuming. The drink is elegantly branded with the brand's logo and imagery to make it a trusted option for consumers to pick up as we close out summer.

The Iyoshi Cola Sour canned cocktail will be available exclusively at Lawson and Natural Lawson locations in select prefectures in Japan where shoppers can pick it up for 298 yen.
