Lawson United Cinemas will launch its new Popcorn Pairing Drinks at theater concession stands across Japan from October 2, 2026. The original drinks were developed to match three of the cinema chain’s popular popcorn flavors.
The lineup will be available at Lawson United Cinemas theaters nationwide, although some locations may offer different items. Each drink costs ¥550 (tax included), while customers can add one to a popcorn set or other combo for ¥100 (tax included).
The three pairings are 7up Lemonade with salted popcorn, Smoky Pepsi with butter soy sauce popcorn, and Strawberry 7up with caramel popcorn. The drinks are designed to refresh the palate, add depth to savory flavors, or create a dessert-style combination during a movie.
About the Popcorn Pairing Drinks

7up Lemonade with Salted Popcorn
7up Lemonade combines fresh lemon acidity and carbonation with salted popcorn, creating a crisp pairing that refreshes the palate. It is available for ¥550 (tax included) as a single drink.

Smoky Pepsi with Butter Soy Sauce Popcorn
Smoky Pepsi brings a deep, smoky flavor to the savory aroma of butter soy sauce popcorn. The drink is priced at ¥550 (tax included) on its own.

Strawberry 7up with Caramel Popcorn
Strawberry 7up adds a sweet-tart strawberry flavor to caramel popcorn for a dessert-style cinema snack. A single drink costs ¥550 (tax included).
Lawson United Cinemas created the drinks around the flavor profile of each popcorn variety rather than treating them as standalone refreshments. The concept is to make the familiar movie snack more enjoyable by combining contrasting or complementary tastes in every bite.
