Cherry Coke is a drink with completely polarized opinions. In the United States, it is extremely popular, with sales increasing year after year, and it's even Warren Buffett's daily favorite beverage. In Hong Kong, however, it's generally considered too sweet and lacking in cherry flavor, thus never becoming a mainstream product. In Japan, cherry-flavored Coca-Cola has repeatedly attempted to penetrate the market, but each attempt has failed, indicating that the Japanese are not particularly receptive to the flavor.
However, Fukano Brewery in Kumamoto Prefecture is determined to reinvent the taste of cherry Coke. They used handcrafted cola made with natural ingredients such as ginger, spices, lemon juice, and cane sugar, then added fresh cherry juice and authentic shochu to create a Cherry Coke drink suitable for Asian palates, named "Karaku Cherry"! (Karaku means cola in Japanese).
This cherry craft cola liqueur, made with citrus fruits from Kumamoto Prefecture and locally sourced ginger, boasts a gentle and elegant flavor. The exquisite balance of this cola with sweet and sour cherry juice and the clean, refreshing taste of Kuma shochu creates a uniquely refreshing adult craft cola.
