Shonen Soda Launches Nationwide at Five Below

Shonen Soda, the California-based, Japanese-inspired cream soda brand known for its bold flavors and colorful anime-inspired identity, is officially launching at Five Below stores nationwide, marking the brand’s first major national retail chain expansion. The launch brings Shonen Soda to more than 1,500 Five Below locations across the United States, significantly expanding the brand’s accessibility and introducing its products to a broader national audience.

Founded in 2022, Shonen Soda began with a simple goal: to create a beverage brand that combines the excitement and nostalgia of Japanese pop culture with fun soda flavors for a new generation of consumers.

Shonen Soda’s lineup features Japanese-inspired cream sodas in Banana Cream, Pineapple Cream, Orange Cream, and Berry Lemon Cream. The Five Below assortment currently includes two of the brand’s most popular flavors, Banana Cream and Pineapple Cream. Shonen Soda is made without artificial colors and contains no caffeine, pairing playful branding with distinctive flavors designed to stand apart from traditional soft drinks.

What started as a small, emerging beverage brand has since grown into a retail footprint spanning specialty, Asian, grocery, and lifestyle retailers throughout the United States. The Five Below launch represents Shonen Soda’s biggest retail expansion to date and an important milestone in the brand’s continued national growth.

Shonen Soda is currently hitting the shelves at Five Below stores nationwide and is also available online at FiveBelow.com.
