Grape Fanta

Recently, in Atariya (a small Japanese shop in West London) I found a can of grape flavored Fanta for the first time. I cannot even explain the excitement when discovering it. I've been looking for it in different countries but never found it. Even in France where there is so much variety of everything, they did not have it.

As soon as I opened the can, I could smell the grape. The grape flavored candies and juices in Japan are very different from the ones in Europe and it also doesn't seem to be as popular. Personally, I LOVE Japanese grape flavored candies. If you would like to try some and you are in Europe, I would say try chewy candies called hi-chew. They are probably the easiest Japanese candies to find around and I would definitely recommend them (You can also find other flavors than grape, like strawberry, kiwi, apple flavor etc).

Going back to the Fanta can, it was very tasty. It immediately reminded me of when I was little in Japan and had a Happy Meal with nuggets, fries and Grape Fanta as a drink. Even though I think I appreciated it more when I was little, it is still a nice drink but maybe mainly because it brings back memories from when I was small :P
