Hot on Dianping: Japanese Drinks in Beijing Edition

In Hot on Dianping, we introduce the restaurants that are whipping up hype among locals in-the-know on China’s favorite review app.

Here, their Jim Beam high balls come in a variety of flavors – eleven different choices to be precise, from lemon to strawberry, blueberry, and grape. But kicker is the “ball” that stands high over the glass. The bubble ball, that is.

In another very similar Japanese diner (right down to the egg-in-avocado, though this one isn’t on fire), the drink that’s exciting netizens is the Lemon Tower. Kyū-pon crafts these refreshing iced sippers using a series of lemon peels that climb high to the sky. It’s available in original or plum-wine flavor for RMB 38

Meanwhile, they won’t put a bubble on your highball, but they will mix in a little passion fruit!

Sippin’ on tea when life is just peachy

When this brand landed in Shanghai, fans lined up for upwards of an hour to try it, but apparently the new Beijing location doesn’t require such a wait!
