Maybe you're lucky if you can find it?

The "Iyemon Omotenashi Taxi", which provides cold tea and other items in the car, is in operation for a limited time until August 4. The target areas are the 23 wards of Tokyo, Musashino City, and Mitaka City.

This is a special taxi where you can experience "Japanese hospitality". The Nihon Kotsu taxi vehicle will be painted with green paint and a logo inspired by "Suntory Green Tea Iyemon" and will be operated as a special specification vehicle equipped with a custom-made "Iyemon lantern". There are three operating units, one of which can speak English.
