Shonen Soda, the Japanese-inspired cream soda brand bringing nostalgic flavors to the U.S. beverage market, has officially expanded into over 900 retail locations nationwide. While the brand has built a strong presence in major Asian grocery chains such as 99 Ranch, H Mart, Tokyo Central, and Mitsuwa, its recent placement in 98 Food4Less stores across Southern California marks a major milestone in breaking into mainstream American retail.

Founded on the belief that the American soda market lacks excitement, Shonen Soda introduces nostalgic Japanese flavors crafted to stand out. The brand’s lineup, which includes unique flavors like Banana Cream, Orange Cream, and Berry Lemon Cream, has already gained a loyal following in the Asian grocery space. Now, with its entrance into Food4Less, Shonen Soda is set to reach an even wider, more diverse audience in the general market. To support this launch, Shonen Soda is partnering with Food4Less-employed demonstrators for an in-store sampling campaign, ensuring that new customers get a firsthand taste of what makes these sodas special. 

As Shonen Soda continues to grow, this expansion into American retail is just the beginning. With a focus on disrupting the traditional soda industry, the brand is looking to expand its presence in more mainstream grocery chains while staying true to its roots in the Japanese beverage culture.

For more information about Shonen Soda and its latest retail partners, visit the journey on Instagram (@shonensoda).
