This is the Fujiya Salty Watermelon Squash, containing 1% watermelon juice.
The beverage featured a clear pale pink hue with gentle effervescence. Consumed chilled, the watermelon flavour initially presented a mellow, fresh sweetness, developing into a juicy, soft acidity with an aromatic quality mid-sip. The flavour resembled fresh watermelon juice, avoiding the intensity often associated with artificial watermelon flavours. Subtle saltiness, which sat in the background like an electrolyte beverage, became more prominent in the finish, effectively clearing the sweetness and leaving a refreshing, clean aftertaste. Overall, it offered a refreshing summer-inspired flavour with a balanced, mellow sweetness, making it worth repurchasing.
This Fujiya Salty Watermelon Squash contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
