Iyoshi Cola Honten Shimo Ochiai

Founded in Shimo Ochiai in 2020, Iyoshi Cola is Tokyo's first craft cola maker, known for its unique blend of more than 10 spices and citrus fruits, including kola nuts, which are then fire-glazed in a method inspired by Kampo medicine. The cola is an undiluted syrup mixed with carbonated water to create the final product. It opened a second store in Harajuku on Cat Street in April 2021. The cola is currently sold only in the US and Japan. The crafting process and atmosphere of the locations, including being near the scenic Kanda River lined with cherry blossoms, contribute to an immersive experience.
