Chill Out: Japan’s First Relaxation Drink backed by Coca-Cola
Recently, at a vending machine outside, I came across Japan’s first relaxation drink, Chill Out.
The beverage became a popular topic in Japan a while ago instead of the energy drink fad.
I knew about it by reading an online news article and had wanted to try it someday.
So when I found the canned drink there, I instantly decided to buy it.
Chill Out Relaxation Drink
The Japanese relaxation drink Chill Out is from Endian, an Osaka-based company backed by I-ne and Coca-Cola Japan.
The product comes in two versions, 185 ml (Price: 200 yen) and 250 ml (Price: 250 yen) cans.
Flavor/Taste
Chill Out is a carbonated soft drink with a citrus-like unique flavor formulated by AI.
The beverage has the right amount of fizz and is easy to drink for me. It tastes pretty good.
