Azuki Pepsi Review!

noreply@blogger.com (Laurel) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:55:00 +0000

A mixed bag of reviews from our taste testers:

"Not too sweet, enjoyable at first, but basically taste like medicines."

"Tastes like soda with the unique/distinct odor of beans. It is not Pepsi tasting, it is worst than Shiso or Cucumber."

"It does not taste like Azuki beans. Something like strawberry & Dr. Pepper, but just sweet with less flavor."

"Soda itself doesn't taste like the original product, but the after taste does...slightly"

"I like it! You like Dr. Pepper? I like that too."
