Onicha is a soft drink produced by HIKAKIN, released in April 2026. A corn tea variation, Onicha Corn Tea, released on October 3, 2026, sold 1.3 million units in two days, and restocking is underway.
Onicha is a soft drink produced by HIKAKIN and launched in April 2026. Its first reported retail test came on April 21, 2026, when Onicha and a second HIKAKIN-produced product, Misokin, went on sale at Seven-Eleven. Purchase data analyzed by Research and Innovation shows both products took the top share in their categories within a week, attracted new demographics, and lifted total category sales. The same data shows the two products were bought together at twice the normal rate, which the firm describes as fan-driven consumption.
The line expanded on October 3, 2026, with Onicha Corn Tea, made with 100% Hokkaido-grown sweet corn. HIKAKIN announced on X that the corn tea passed 1.3 million units sold in two days and said sales exceeded expectations. He also said restocking is underway. The same announcement covers the product's release and its retail availability.
Across the two stories, the picture is a drink that moved from a single retail partner to a national sales figure in about five months. The April data concerns buyer behavior at Seven-Eleven. The October figure is a unit count for one variation, not for the original drink, and no cumulative total for Onicha overall appears in either story.
