Coke's original recipe ??


Coke is one of the most famous drink in Japan.
and Coke is a carbonated drink that sells most in Japan.


I like Coke. I have 1 or 2 500ml bottles Coke in a week.
In summer, driking Coke after work out is super.


Coke is called "COLA" by Japanese people.
You can buy Coke everywhere in Japan.


Few days ago, I found a website that tells original receipe of Coke.
As far as I know, Coke's receipe is not opened.
Please check this URL.

(Coka Cola co. said this recipe is not true.
but I think it's a interesting.)


When I was a kid, I always heard that adult people's said
" Don't drink a Coke, because Coke will melt your bones."
I never believed. Don't threaten the kids !


Not only Coke bad for health.
If you drink too much water, you will die by water intoxication.


This is a proverb in Japan.
過ぎたるは及ばざるがごとし。(sugitaru wa oyobazaru ga gotoshi)
It means , More than enough is too much.


So, Let's drink a Coke.

Had a quick drink at Shibuya.


I went to Shibuya last Saturday.
Then, I got a pint of very nice Japanese ale beer.
"Yona Yona(よなよな) ale beer" 
"Yona Yona" means every night, night after night in Japanese.
Fruity, smooth and mellow taste.
I recommend this beer for you.












I drunked at English pub THE ALDGATE.

I enjoyed a beer and 6 nations Rugby game.
This pub is very nice and non smoking English pub.














Then, I felt tired and hungry because I had a 2hours workout before came to Shibuya.
So I went out that bar and entered ramen restaurant.


This ramen restaurant name is "Tenka Ippin(天下一品、てんかいっぴん)"
It means "There is nothing like this in the whole world."
Famous ramen restaurant franchise.
This ramen restaurant serves very thick and creamy soup ramen.
Strong and little strange good taste for me.

I ordered  ramen/ rice / poak saute with Korean kimchi.
These strong tastes made me satisfied.


Eat ramen after drinking is one of typical Japanese enjoying style.
We called this combination " shime no ramen. 締めのラーメン "
It means ,  finished by ramen !
