If someone ask me about what is the most famous and cheap soft drink in Taiwan,I'll probably say that is Heyson Sarsaparilla, Heysong Sarsaparilla is the most famous soft drink in Taiwan

Heysong has over 100 years history, the principal of Heysong (Chang Wen Chi) was start his business at 1925, a store that is located in street of Taipei station, he was selling about the marble soda with his two brother, the Haysong sarsaparilla is the most proud works in the Heysong company

WHAT IS INSIDE THE HEYSONG SARSAPARILLA
The most important thing inside the Heysong sarsaparilla is the smilax, smilax is a kind of the plant that is from Mexico and US. the color from Heysong sarsaparilla is dark brown, but it didn't have any coffeen, the color are almost same with cola, but actually Heysong sarsaparilla have different flavor.

WHY HEYSONG SARSAPARILLA WILL COME TO TAIWAN
In 19 century, sarsaparilla and ginger soda is the most popular drink in US and spread to Asia, at that time, because cola have the Cocaine to make other people Addictive, make a lot of people feel sick about cola, so sarsaparilla separate to Asia very easy and getting popular.


Heysong have sell over 5billion bottle of sarsaparilla from 1950 to now, is very powerful number in Taiwan. But a lot of people from other country, like japan or other area of asia don't like to drink sarsaparilla, because they think the sarsaparilla have the same flavor as the patch in japan, some of the people think the flavor of sarsaparilla is really strange, but for me, I think Heysong sarsaparilla is the best soft drink and had the most special flavor in the world!!
