Pepsi Azuki was released in October of 2009. Azuki is a small maroon bean used to add a sweetish
taste to traditional Japanese snacks and desserts. People who tried Pepsi Azuki reported that it tasted
neither like Pepsi nor azuki… maybe because “azuki” was suspitiosly missing from the listed ingredients.
It was always intended to be a limited release, it’s difficult to judge whether it was a success
or a failure. Pepsi Azuki has not been re-released, so perhaps we can assume that it was a failure.
