Iyoshi Cola

Found this place while searching around google maps for a place to get a drink. As a cola fan myself, I must say that this shop has a very natural take on their cola, it taste herbal and the spice has done it justice. I was very impressed with the milk cola, it paired well together. Milky, silky, spicy, peppery, cola-y. It tasted like a rich-man’s drink. Complex but really good. The cola soda was great too. You could taste more of the herbs and spices in the drink but I would recommend you try both so you can get the best of both worlds.

One thing about me—I’m a Coke addict 😂. And honestly, I’m really glad we don’t have Iyoshi Cola where I live, or I’d go bankrupt drinking this $4 masterpiece every day. But you know what? It’s totally worth it. Amazing cola, super refreshing—absolutely to die for. I’d love to have more, and I’m already sad we’re leaving Tokyo and won’t get to drink it again anytime soon.

8/1/25 - 4.5 stars First tried this in a nice bar in Kagoshima and waited two years to come back to Tokyo for the actual shop. Doesn't taste exactly as I remember, but, still very good, very unique and interesting drink. I would say that the takeaway drinks are a little expensive for the volume and what they are (a soft drink) at ~¥600. But, if you know what you're getting, the glasses of syrup are definitely worthwhile and a nice gift.

II get the hype but at the same time, it's quickly drunk and the taste (though all natural and medicinal based) was ok. The menu had four items only. Lots of ice in each pouch as they pour the soda in front of you into the pouch. If you want to spend a wee bit less, there is a vending machine that's attached to the store for you to buy some to take back as souvenirs and is cheaper (not as fresh but just as good) but with no flavour choice. It's a small shop with maybe 4 seats or so inside . It's cute as a one time thing. About 600-750 yen per drink.

I'm probably the biggest cola fan on earth. Must visit if you are also. Two different flavours to choose from one is herbal and the other is spicy. Both really really nice. Shop is beautifully done showing all of the herb and spices used in their secret recipe. I could only identify 8 out of the 11. The cola is dispensed into plastic bags where the concentrate is added with the soda from tap and lemon slice added with a crack of pepper. Fantastic. They sell it all also in cans outside the shop via a vending machine and is half the price. Recommend insta stop. And real cola fans.

If you're a cola fan, do drop by here to try the spiced up version. Very small shop. Quite takeaway drink, very refreshing. They also sell small bottles of syrups

I love the idea and concept. Good place to check out in Shinjuku. Easy and fast queue even with one person behind the counter. Able to buy bottles of "cola" syrup as a souvenir. 🥤 Tried their original dreamy flavour. It was sweet, herbally (cinnamon, peppery and lemony) with a hint of bitterness.

My boyfriend and I were walking around the area and noticed the long line up and were curious to try. And wow! Never thought a drink could taste so yummy yet so unique at the same time, the touch of black pepper definitely adds a nice kick. A must try when in Tokyo!
