Fujiya

8:11 PM March 11, 2009

Every few weeks Asuka and I head over to Fujiya to pick up some Japanese food. Often this includes ingredients for cooking curry, some bulk rice, various snacks, maybe a few Japanese magazines for Asuka, some fresh sushi, and I always pick up some cold tea and coffee drinks.

I'm a big fan of tea, but I also enjoy my coffee. Sometimes I want a coffee that is refreshing rather than hot, and these drinks hit the spot perfectly. I guess this type of drink is fairly popular in Japan because there are a ton of companies making them. Over here I can only think of the Starbucks branded cold coffee drinks - which isn't much choice. Fujiya always gets a few different types in stock, but I know there are many more that aren't exported. I usually pick up an assortment because I like variety. Recently I got a selection from Boss, Kirin, Roots and UCC Coffee. There are a few that I like better than others like Pokka and UCC, but I still enjoy getting a mixture of types. Have you tried any? Do you have a preferred brand?
