Samurai Coffee
Here it comes:
Georgia (own by Coca Cola company) apparently decided to use the historical appeal approach to boost its sales. Cool but still not my favorite brand. And in general I prefer when they add small presents (toy cars) to the coffee cans as a form of promotion . Then at least you can give the toys to the kids and make them happy:) Anyway to the manga and Play Station heroes beverage’s can design now we can add and the samurai theme. Kampai minnasan!
PS. I took the picture today in the nearby Daily Yamazaki shop.
Update 6th of November – even more samurai coffees from Georgia:
For the second shot I even had to rearrange the cans but the shop clerks didn’t make an issue out of that – after all I am a regular customer there :)

I find it funny just picturing you rearranging coffee cans for the photo. The clerks must have found it amusing too.
Hi Travis,
I did it with an expression (on my face) of utter concentration – something like an artist creating his life long masterpiece. If they noticed me – most probably this is exactly what they would thought I am doing (sorry – I have the feeling my English is not very correct here).
Japan is a different country from most of the rest of the world – but this is a different subject.
I am reading your blog and I like the more intellectual spin you give to your posts. I also have my thoughts about Japan culture and way of life (and history) – but the subject is too sensitive and I prefer to write about it when my written English becomes at least slightly better.
Cheers
