The low alcohol canned drink will be launched in Japan, home to a thriving if competitive industry, with countless Chu-Hi flavoured drinks – from kiwi to yuzu - sitting on convenience store shelves across the country.

这种罐装低酒精饮料将在日本推出。在产业兴旺、竞争激烈的日本，有不计其数的Chu-Hi风味饮料，你可以在日本各地的便利店看到奇异果风味和柚子风味等各种口味的Chu-Hi饮料。

Confirming the plan in an interview on the company’s website, Jorge Garduño, Coca-Cola’s Japan president, said: “This is a canned drink that includes alcohol; traditionally, it is made with a distilled beverage called shochu and sparkling water, plus some flavouring. We haven’t experimented in the low alcohol category before, but it’s an example of how we continue to explore opportunities outside our core areas.”
