Garlic flavored cola. Fizzy sweet cola with a pungent garlic taste. Yum? Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of weird food and drink come out of Japan, and as of January 9, there has been a new addition to that list。 大蒜味可乐？气泡丰富、甜味十足的可乐里透着辛辣刺鼻的大蒜味？是的，你没看错。过去几年里，我们曾见识过源自日本的形形色色的暗黑食物或饮料，现在这个暗黑群体又多了一名新成员。 Hailing from Aomori, the garlic capital of Japan, which has previously produced such delectables as garlic ice cream and garlic beer, “Jats Takkola,” is brought to us from the garlic center of the garlic capital of Japan, also known as “Garlic Town,” Sannohe Districts’ Takko Town。 这款大蒜味可乐名叫Jats Takkola，出自青森县。青森县在日本被称为大蒜之都，这里曾出产过不少具有大蒜风味的产品，比如大蒜味冰淇淋和大蒜味啤酒等。 The town got its charming nickname from the fact that every July, so much garlic is harvested that the entire town. We have a feeling they don’t suffer from vampire attacks very often。 青森县之所以被称为大蒜之都，是因为每年七月份这里都会收获大量的大蒜。感觉连吸血鬼都不会光顾这里，因为那浓浓的大蒜味。 The town offers pretty much any form of garlic you could ever imagine, but the creation of the Takkola (get it? Takko + cola = takkola)， took some trial and error experimentation. The real issue, apparently, was breaking through the stereotype that garlic should be used exclusively for food。 |
