As well as typical soft drinks, coffee, chocolate or tea, youcan find alcoholic beverages, but the government is already eliminating them from the machines because it is very difficult to control who buys them.

There are many reasons for the popularity of the machines. First of all, as there isn't enough space for big storesthese give an efficient solution. Secondly, they are available 24 hours a day and you don't need to wait in long lines to pay for your product. As japan moves to this new century, the variety of thesejidoohanbaiki continues to grow.
