The story
Tucked away in Shibuya’s Jingūmae district, Cola is a juice shop with a singular, serpentine specialty. As Jack’s Dining Room noted, the house-made cola gets its kick from an infusion of pit viper snake—yielding a drink he calls “refreshing and incredible.” At ¥1,300–2,000 (roughly $13 a bag), it’s a steep pour, but for adventurous sippers, this is Tokyo’s most talked-about soft drink.
That one-off bottle is essentially the whole menu, and it’s enough to earn the shop a stellar 4.6-star rating. The space itself feels like a secret, with no signage and just a few seats—a proper hideaway for those who know. Whether the gimmick or the genuine craftsmanship pulls you in, Cola proves that sometimes the most memorable drinks come from the most unlikely ingredients.
