Packaging is definitely cultural as anyone who’s spent any significant time in a different culture knows.
It even misleads within your own culture, like how 80% of the “Ice Cream” packaged in ice cream cartons is actually “Frozen Dairy Dessert”.
Japan has some pretty strict laws on labeling, the real fruit picture coupled with the word soda would definitely make them think this is a high quality fizzy fruit drink.
