This is the Coca-Cola I LOHAS Northern Grape Mix, a region-exclusive release available only in northern Tōhoku. It is made with natural water drawn from the Ōu Mountains and incorporates grape extracts from three locally representative varieties: Steuben from Aomori, Niagara from Akita, and Campbell from Iwate.
The beverage was clear and colourless, carrying a gentle grape aroma. When consumed chilled, it offered a clean, refreshing grape-inflected water with a more layered flavour profile than typical grape-flavoured drinks. While the distinct varietal signatures could not be individually identified, the blend produced a rounded expression balancing the gentle musk of Steuben, the brighter fruitiness associated with Niagara, and the slightly jam-like depth characteristic of Campbell. The sweetness remained moderate, supported by a smooth, almost electrolytic mouthfeel, before tapering into a lightly dry finish.
Overall, a refreshing and quietly complex regional grape water with a smooth texture and restrained sweetness.
This Coca-Cola I LOHAS Northern Grape Mix contained 600 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Ichinoseki, Japan in 2024.
