This is the Asahi Mitsuya Cool Wanashi, made with Japanese pear juice (up to 10%) and frozen Japanese pear extract.
The beverage had a translucent off-white hue with a crisply sweet nashi aroma and a soft, fine carbonation.
When consumed chilled, it opened with bright, juicy notes of crisp nashi, supported by a gentle acidity that shifted into a honeyed sweetness mid-sip. Toward the end, the carbonation lifted the palate, creating a clean and refreshing finish. The early richness grounded the overall profile, allowing the final crispness to feel cohesive rather than abrupt.
Overall, this delivered a refreshing and well-layered expression of nashi, suited to warm weather and reminiscent of chilled ripe fruit.
This Asahi Mitsuya Cool Wanashi contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
