Chibaragi Coffee
I have been away (and without Internet access) for the past 10 days in Tochigi Prefecture. While there I heard about Georgia’s Max Coffee. It’s been sold for a long time, but it was the first time I had ever heard people getting excited over can coffee.
Georgia’s Max Coffee is sold only in Chiba, Ibaraki and Tochigi. I never knew that, much to a amusement of my Japanese coworkers (who were buying up big at every chance they got). The coffee is sweet and that’s about it, but it seems to be very popular with people selling it on net auctions and driving from Tokyo to Chiba etc just to buy Max Coffee!!!
Can’t understand why they don’t release it in Tokyo, but the limited area of distribution seems to be working as a marketing ploy!!
I used to live in Chiba when I was a university student, Max coffee is really familiar to me :D
And yes, very very sweet.
thats a interesting blog. Japan actually have lot of those. pokki to haichu… season special or when its only found in surtain places seems like it draws people more… weird hu?
