Asahi Chocolat Cocktail

Asahi Chocolat Cocktail


Recently I blogged about the Sapporo/Royce Chocolate beer for Valentines day and there seems to be a spate of other chocolate based beers and cocktails released this year in Japan.

Recently I found this Chocolat Cocktail from Asahi which is a Rum and Chocolate based cocktail.

I bought it initially for my wife as she likes sweet cocktails, but she didn’t want it, so after leaving it in the fridge for a couple of weeks I finally took the plunge and tried it (the fridge was otherwise bare).

Very surprised and impressed!

Basically a chocolate milkshake with a hint of rum on the aftertaste (although rum is the main ingredient according to the can, the cocktail is only 4% and hardly tastes of rum at all).

Haven’t seen any other chocolate cocktails but am still trying to find the other chocolate beers , Chocolate No. 7, Chocolate Doppu, and White Chocolate from Doppu.


The full review is here: Asahi Chocolat Cocktail

Beer and Coke Cocktail

Beer and Coke Cocktail

I went to a local Izakaya last night (an Izakaya is kind of a cross between a tapas bar and a pub, where you buy lots of small plates of – usually – cheap food and wash it down with drinks. Japanese people tend not “just” drink, they nearly always eat food at the same time), and discovered something unusual on the drinks menu that I’d never seen before or even contemplated.

A cocktail of Beer and Coke. Or Beer Coke as they called it.

Why oh why would you want to mix these two drinks?? It reminded me of when I used to work at Heathrow airport in London, and there were a lot of Indian people working there who used to mix Coke and Milk with their lunches.
A bizarre combination.

Anyway, obviously I had to try it, as maybe I’d been missing out on some magic all these years…no.

To be honest it wasn’t as bad as I imagined on the first sip, but by the end of the glass, I was feeling just a little bit sick.

Switched back to beer and sake after that – a good combination!
