Warm (Hot) canned coffee from vending machines

Hi All,

Today, I would like to introduce you about canned Coffee in Japan. I love Japanese canned beverages, especially in the winter seasons. I have been living in almost 1.5 years in London and visited more than 15 countries in Europe but never seen the vending machines like ones you normally can see in Japan. The feature of the Japanese vending machines and what I love about is that they offer very warm (actually, hot) drinks.

The red sign below on the vending machine means that the beverages are warmed up and the blue sign shows the beverages are cooled (you normally do not see red signs in Summer).

 <- Warmed up

<- Cooled down

I introduce some of the very famous canned coffee brands in Japan as follows;

1.    Coca Cola: GEORGIA

4.    ASAHI: WONDA
