HIKAKIN announces new ‘ONICHA Corn Tea’ for Seven-Eleven

Japanese YouTuber HIKAKIN has announced the launch of a new product, ‘ONICHA Corn Tea’, following a countdown series on his YouTube channel. The new beverage is an expansion of his existing ‘ONICHA’ barley tea brand, which has already surpassed 20 million bottles sold.

The corn tea is scheduled for release at Seven-Eleven convenience stores nationwide starting at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 8. HIKAKIN revealed that the decision to create the product stemmed from his personal long-term preference for corn tea, which he has consumed daily since approximately 2014.

The announcement was made via a ‘report’ video where HIKAKIN appeared with a distinctive bearded look. The expansion follows the success of his previous brand ventures, including ‘Misokin’ cup noodles and the original ‘ONICHA’ barley tea, both distributed through Seven-Eleven.
