Do you mean alcohol or non-alcohol (like coca-cola, etc.)?
I recommend sake if you never had it. |

If we're talking alchohol, I like umeshu, and the only beer I will touch is Kirin Ichiban.
Ramune soda is good too, and neat, because it has the ball in it...  http://www.animesnacks.com/ramunesoda.html

You should try to find a traditional tea ceremony where you can try the Japanese green tea called MATCHA. It is very bitter, so I recommend you to have it with some sweet snack which probably will be served with the tea.

There are five types of sake. Here's a short description I took from another site:
Junmai-shu (pure rice wine; at least 30% of rice polished away; no adding of distilled alcohol) * Honjozo-shu (at least 30% of rice polished away; a tad of distilled alcohol is added) * Ginjo-shu (at least 40% of rice polished away; with or without alcohol added; if bottle is labeled Ginjo, it means distilled alcohol was added; if labeled Junmai Ginjo, it means no alcohol added) * Daiginjo-shu (at least 50% of rice polished away; again with or without added alcohol; if bottle is labeled Daiginjo, it means distilled alcohol was added; if labeled Junmai Daiginjo, it means no alcohol added) * Namazake (special 5th designation for unpasteurized sake; incorporates all four above) |

Kirin Ichiban all the way!!!!
But if you like dark beers, Yebisu Black is damn tasty. A bit expensive, but well worth it.
Alcohol aside, can coffee is more addicting than crack.

Has anybody tried the new C2 (Coke Cola 2)? I was curious what others thought of it?
It was sort of a mix between regular coke and diet coke. Well, it has half the calories..so I guess that would make sense

I used to love Chu-Hi. My favourite flavours were lemon and grape. Lychee was good too, and my flatmate loved peach. Anyhoo, there are lots of flavours and brands to try.
