This is the Fujiya Premium Lemon Squash, containing 12% juice and purée from Sicilian lemons, in comparison to the usual 10% found in the non-premium version.
The beverage presented a translucent yellow hue with a soft, zesty lemon aroma that leaned gently sweet rather than sharp, accompanied by moderate carbonation.
When consumed chilled, the restrained aroma belied the intensity of the flavour. The sip opened with a clear lemon note and moderate tartness, which quickly built through the mid-palate into a bracing acidity that prompted immediate salivation. As the sip progressed, a measured sweetness emerged to soften the sharpness, though the assertive sour lemon character remained the defining feature. The carbonation dissipated cleanly, leaving a crisp finish and a refreshing, uncluttered aftertaste.
Overall, a bold and invigorating lemon squash with pronounced acidity and just enough sweetness for balance, delivering a decisively premium and refreshing profile.
This Fujiya Lemon Squash Premium contained 380 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
