Curry mood contains ten spices and comes in a 190g can. According to Sapporo, it can be consumed with bread or rice balls to be part of a meal.

“It’s perfect when you feel like curry,” the company said.

In 1972, Pokka Sapporo launched Japan’s first 190g canned coffee, a format that became popular through the growth of hot-drink vending machines. Most Japanese convenience stores also have a hot shelf for canned coffee and other hot drinks.
