Japanese Coca-Cola has always been full of surprises. Recently, spotting an opportunity in Japan’s coffee-loving market to satisfy caffeine enthusiasts, it launched the latest “Coffee Cola,” available exclusively at the ubiquitous Japanese vending machines.

This time, Coca-Cola collaborated with its own coffee brand, Georgia, combining coffee and cola-making techniques to introduce the new Coca Cola Coffee Plus product, priced around 120 yen. The fusion of two distinctly different beverages—coffee and cola—has piqued netizens’ curiosity about its flavor, sparking a buying and tasting frenzy.

Although this new product has 50% more caffeine than regular Coca-Cola, users who have tried it say it doesn’t have as strong a coffee flavor as expected—instead, it features an even bolder cola taste. To find out how the latest coffee cola really tastes, those planning a trip to Japan soon should hurry and grab one to try for themselves！
