The Japanese like their juice. I’ve yet to see anyone ordering a soda aside from an American at McDonalds. The vending machines sell mostly coffee, water (or flavored water) and juice. On the flight over they served tomato, orange and apple juice. At an Italian place a few days ago I witnessed a woman order orange juice on ice with her pasta. A very popular alcoholic beverage found in konbini and vending machines across Japan called Chu-hi (shochu highball) is flavored like citrus juice.
