Yamamoto Shoten Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Kobe; President: Itaru Natori), a trading company specializing in food imports and wholesale, has announced the launch of three items from the UK's 'Sparkling Garden Line' by Folkington's.

Premium Sparkling Fruit Drinks from the UK Founded in 2012, Folkington's was born from a desire to bring the 'terroir' found in fine wines to juices and soft drinks. By selecting unique raw materials sourced from single farms or specific regions, the brand ensures consistent taste and quality. Their sustainable relationships with farmers further support their commitment to excellence.

There are three flavors in total, each packaged in beautifully designed bottles that are also recommended as gifts. These sparkling drinks are perfect for the upcoming warm season. Being lightly carbonated, they are easy to drink, even for children or those who dislike strong carbonation. Each bottle contains around 100 calories and offers a clean aftertaste.
