Pepsi Japan Debuts a Cola Meant to Be Paired with Fried Chicken

Japanese fried chicken lovers, this new Pepsi Zero flavor is just for you. Introducing Pepsi Karaage, this latest cola version is meant to be paired with Japanese fried chicken, chicken karaage.

To achieve this perfect pairing, Pepsi reduced the sweetness and effervescence of cola, while also upping the dietary fiber content. The second step is done so the fattiness and oily characteristics of fried chicken are diminished. So imagine your next bite of chicken karaage enhanced by refreshing the palate and mitigating the oily mouthfeel.

Japanese fans can grab a bottle starting June 14 until the end of summer.
