Iyoshi Cola

After watching so many vlogs, I noticed that almost everyone stopped by this place, so I became really curious about their craft cola. It’s handmade based on a cola recipe that’s over 100 years old, combined with a variety of unique ingredients. The shop also sells a lot of merchandise and has various machines on display. Watching the staff prepare the drinks was actually pretty fascinating. I found it quite tasty and interesting, but for me, it’s more of a one-time experience rather than something I’d come back for.

Iyoshi Cola is the world’s first artisanal, handcrafted cola, made using a century-old family recipe. It combines kola nuts and citrus fruits with natural spices and traditional herbs such as cinnamon, cardamom, and ginseng. Cola gets its name from one of its key ingredients, the kola nut. Iyoshi Cola costs 700 yen and is freshly made to order. It comes in a unique sealed bag with ice cubes, their signature syrup, freshly carbonated water, and is finished with a slice of fresh lemon and aromatic spices. Be sure to stir it before drinking. Made with natural ingredients, Iyoshi Cola is not overly sweet and has a light, refreshing taste that’s perfect for cooling down. There’s also an Iyoshi Cola vending machine outside the shop where you can purchase bottled and canned versions. Not my gem but it’s still a fun and interesting drink to try if you’re nearby.

It was very cool to try this - never tasted handmade cola before and you can really taste all of the spices that went into it. The order is made right in front of your eyes and it’s an engaging experience overall. While I wouldn’t come back as a regular, I think it’s a unique experience worth trying if you are in the area. If I come back though I’ll def try the milkola.

Very unique shop with cola options that offer different types of spice mixes. We tried both the “Dreamy Flavour” and the “Japan Edition”. I loved how our sodas came in a plastic bag with a fresh lemon on top as this definitely added to the uniqueness. The staff were kind and despite all the influencers in the wild (line up was out the door), this place is somewhere I would return to!! Note that they only take contactless payment.

Great for a tourist, if you came by this area and love soda. The shop given the good vibe and the shopkeeper was helpful. 3 main Cola menu on the spot and the syrup that you can brought home to DIY your cola. The taste was surprisingly good, not like your standard cola for sure. Would come visit again if we were in the area. The seating was limited (4-5 high chair seat and some in front of the store) they also have a toilet for customers as well. Don't for get to sort the recycling as well.

A new taste of cola — definitely something different! The place is small but worth trying. They make the drink fresh for you, and you can even buy the syrup to make it at home. The flavor is not similar to the popular cola brands, which makes it a cool and unique experience. Something new and fun to try!

We were curious to try this place since it’s been going viral on social media. The shop is easy to find, just follow the directions on Google Maps. We ordered the original cola called The Dreamy Flavor, which is recommended for first-timers. The taste is truly unique and very different from the mainstream cola brands we all know. It’s crafted with various spices like kola nut, cinnamon, citrus, and more. Highly recommended to try!

My mum tried the classic one and I had the dreamy flavor Japanese, the special one spicy. She's not a big fan of coke so she didn't like it so much, but I did with both. It's original, with a good taste, so much better then the classic coca cola, better for health and for the planet as well!
