IIRC it had an all kanji name - which was something along the lines of: iron|chef|red|tea|apple|taste|carbonated. (I might be wrong about the iron chef bit - but I distinctly recall "iron" in there somewhere).

The only place I ever saw it was in vending machines at Shinjuku station.

BTW - I notice that there are now vending machines at Akihabara station which sell bread-in-a-can. This is a realization of one of my very favourite home-made oyaji gags. (Q: What do you call a machine that sells bread? A: A jidou-pan-baiki).
