Mmmm... tastes like Shiso!
"Pepsi Shiso features a clear, refreshing flavor and a clean aftertaste. Tinged with Green Shiso (Perilla frutescens), it both imparts a pleasant cooling sensation and has a vivid green color.
On the package, there is a background reminiscent of white hemp material with a transparent Shiso leaf shape that creates a novel, 'refreshing summer' design."
Shiso is commonly in Japan for seasoning pickles. So… yeah. At any rate, it went on sale 6/23 and will have "limited seasonal availability." Thank God for small favors.

soo… pickel flavored Pepsi? I suppose it'll go great with a cone of squid ink ice cream (from Iron Chef).

Yeah… I don't think that even most Japanese are digging this.
