No idea what this "Kissaten's (Japanese old-school coffee shop) Rich Melon Cream Soda" tastes like, but I'm in love with the Showa retro packaging!

From the website:

In recent years, due to the growing nostalgic tastes and interest in the past era and culture such as the "retro boom", nostalgic items and culture have gained popularity. Among other things, cream soda, a representative work of retro culture, is still loved by many people of all generations as a standard menu of coffee shops (Kissaten). Therefore, our company will release a new carbonated drink "Kissaten's Rich Melon Cream Soda" with a nostalgic taste like a coffee shop's cream soda.

"Kissaten's Rich Melon Cream Soda" is a carbonated drink that enjoys the creamy texture and rich drinking comfort as if it were melted ice cream. In addition, by pouring it into a glass, it reproduces the realistic foaming, and you can enjoy a more authentic taste and appearance. The package adopts a POP design that feels modern in the nostalgic with the motif of Showa retro.

Through the launch of this product, we will propose delicious, fun and attractive products that respond to changes in booms and preferences for all generations.
