Cuisine-Specific Colas

Pepsi Karaage Senyo Cola Pairs with Japanese-Style Fried Chicken

The Pepsi Karaage Senyo Cola (AKA Pepsi Cola Exclusively for Fried Chicken) is a special refreshment in the Japanese market specifically formulated for cutting through the oiliness of Japanese-style fried chicken.

The soda features a more subtle scent and sweetness compared to original Pepsi, and also boasts a transparent profile to further enhance its ability to cut through oily meals. The zero-calorie soda is likely to be a hit with avid fans of the aforementioned cuisine and will help them to enjoy impressive refreshment when taking a sip after a bite.

The Pepsi Karaage Senyo Cola is arriving on store shelves on June 14, 2022 and will be right at home alongside Pepsi Nama, which also boasts a distinctly refreshing flavor. The brand is hoping consumers will try both to decipher which is best for pairing with their favorite foods.
