Iyoshi Cola – Japanese Craft Cola

Iyoshi Cola is a ready-to-drink Japanese craft cola inspired by the craftsmanship of traditional Kampo herbal medicine. Created by Cola Kobayashi, grandson of herbal medicine craftsman Ryotaro Ito, it brings that family heritage into a distinctive blend of spices, citrus fruits and herbal botanicals, including kola nuts. Refined with the help of brewers and curry specialists, the recipe puts layered aroma and flavour at the heart of every can.

Reishi mushroom offers another connection to this world of herbal traditions. Also known as lingzhi, Reishi has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. That heritage is worth exploring, but traditional use is not proof of a health benefit from drinking this cola. Enjoy Iyoshi for its distinctive botanical character rather than as a supplement or treatment.

This alcohol-free Japanese cola comes in a 250 ml can. Before opening, turn the can upside down for 10 seconds to redistribute the spice blend, then serve well chilled. Make it your companion for a film night, an outdoor gathering or an afternoon when you fancy something more adventurous than an everyday cola.
