Japan takes another swing at weird sodas - "no calorie" Coca-Cola + plus with green tea/catechin flavor.

Actually not bad, and certainly not the abomination that was Pepsi Blue Hawaii or Pepsi Ice Cucumber. It was a little smoother than regular diet coke, but I couldn't really taste any green tea flavor at all. This absence of green tea flavor was in fact confirmed by two Japanese folks, to ensure it simply wasn't the result of faulty gaijin taste buds.

I've cut my soda consumption way down these last 2 months or so, but every once in a while I crave a bit of carbonated caffeine. This wasn't too bad a way to get my fix.
