Do you know Mont Blanc?
It’s the French name of the highest mountain in the European Alps. “Mont Blanc” means “White Mountain”.

Did you know that there is a pastry dessert in France called “Mont Blanc“?
This dessert is extremely popular in Japan. It suits Japanese people’s tastes.
In Japan, the dessert is called 「モンブラン」 (“Mon-Blan“), which is probably the way it pronounced in French.
Have you ever tried a 「モンブラン」 (“Mon-Blan“) pastry? It’s a cake made from chestnuts with a whipped cream topping and usually has chestnuts on top. It’s pretty good.

Well, now Pepsi Japan has another new flavor…「モンブラン」 (“Mon-Blan“). It supposedly tastes similar to the dessert.

In Japan, Pepsi Cola often releases unusual cola flavors (occasionally Coca-Cola Japan does too).

I didn’t think this flavor was too good. Baobab earlier this year was okay, though.

I haven’t tried either Pepsi Baobab nor Pepsi Mont Blanc.
I don’t drink cola often…and on the rare occasion that I want a cola, I don’t feel like trying a fancy new flavor usually.
I did try Pepsi Shiso.

Oh yes, there is a “Mont Blanc” pen company as well.
This post, though, is about the new “Mont Blanc” drink by Pepsi Japan…I mentioned the dessert in this post because it’s popular in Japan and the drink is supposedly flavored like it.
And I mentioned the mountain because everything else named “Mont Blanc” is named after the mountain.
