This Asahi Mitsuya Hōjun Melon Soda was described as being a ‘melon soda for adults who enjoy the original flavour of melons’ and used a blend of juice (1%) from green and red-fleshed melons.
The drink was a pale yellow-green hue, emitting a fragrant melon aroma and possessing a moderate carbonation. Upon tasting, the initial burst of red melon aroma paved the way for the invigorating sweetness of green melons in the body. The carbonation effectively refreshed the palate between sips, culminating in a clean aftertaste. In flavour, this melon soda was remarkably revitalizing and outshone the neon green melon beverages designed for youngsters. The subdued sweetness masterfully encapsulated the flavour of melon flavour, making it worth repurchasing.
This Asahi Mitsuya Hōjun Melon Soda contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
