This is the Asahi Minita Breeze Shiny Pink.
Each mint was cylindrical in shape, measuring 1 cm in diameter and 0.5 cm in height. They had a white hue tinged with hot pink on the edges, with an M etched on one face, and carried a minty aroma.
On tasting, the smooth surface released a cooling mint flavour immediately, beginning with a bold, nose-clearing intensity that was strong yet never harsh. This developed into a prominent sweetness with subtle fruity undertones in the body, though the peppermint note remained dominant through to the finish. Compared with a standard peppermint, it was noticeably sweeter, with the faint fruitiness lending a character reminiscent of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit—sweet, rounded, and without acidity. The result was a refreshing peppermint with an added layer of soft fruit sweetness.
Overall, this mint delivered a bold peppermint profile lifted by gentle fruity sweetness, offering a refreshing yet playful variation on a classic flavour.
