【What is "Coca-Cola" Slim Bottle Regional Design?】

Since June 2017, the company has been designing bottles with regional symbols and tourist spots across Japan and selling them locally in limited volume as a special package to make travel more enjoyable. The company so far marketed 33 variations, which enjoy popularity among lots of people as a perfect souvenir.

”Coca-Cola” Slim Bottle is a premium package with aluminum material that has inherited the iconic curvy shape of the Contour Bottle, which is so distinctive that you can tell it is a Coca-Cola if you feel it even in the dark. The ice-cold feel of the bottle will make Coca-Cola more tasty and refreshing.

Since its first arrival in Japan in July 2015, the company has released regional designs depicting tourist attractions and symbols all over Japan, as well as seasonal designs such as cherry blossoms, fireworks, and autumn leaves. In 2019, Japan Rugby team jersey design bottle was released, which was enjoyed by many people from "Coca-Cola" fans to those who do not usually drink carbonated beverages.
