9 Aug 2003Soft drink update:
Coca Cola has released a new flavor in their ever-expanding Fanta line, probably as a response to Virgin’s colorful bites into the market.
The new flavor is rather exotically titled “Shokata!”, is virulently green in color and whose flavor is defined as “Elder blossom and Lemon”.
Now, I wouldn’t know an Elder blossom from poisonous toadstool, but it’s described as having a delicate sweet taste and being a traditional ingredient in teas, pastries and the like, so who am I to argue?
Taste-testing results after the first sip were very favorable. Indeed, a delicate sweetness to it, like Lemon Fanta only mellowed down. It has a bit of an aftertaste, but a nice one. All in all, it’s a flavor I wouldn’t mind adding to my repertoire, assuming it doesn’t bomb, flop and get taken down by the company.
Time will tell…

It rocks.
Discovered it a week ago. Like it. I wish soft drinks weren’t so fattening.

Re: It rocks.
I agree. There should be a Diet version of all soft-drinks, not only the Coke-Sprite-Fanta triumvirate. I stick to Diet Sprite, mainly, but would love to have Diet Lemon Fanta or Diet Shokata!
(Yes, I know there’s no exclamation mark in the name of the product, but there should be!)

It’s not THAT good. The after-taste is rather annoying and the name of it alone pushes me away from the drink.
I’ll probably buy it a few times but still- They could have add a better flavor.
