This is the Asahi Mintia Breeze Fragrant Plus+ Lemon & Lime, which achieves its flavour through freeze-dried lemon and lime powder.
Each mint was cylindrical, measuring approximately 1 cm in diameter and 0.5 cm in height, with a white base lightly flecked with yellow and a fresh, lemon-forward aroma. On tasting, the smooth surface began releasing flavour immediately, opening with a bright, sweeter-tart lemon profile. The lime character emerged mid-palate, initially with a fleeting hint of bitterness, before developing into a sharper, more pungent and vibrant lime note, accompanied by a sudden cooling sensation. This interplay between sweet lemon and incisive lime ebbed and flowed steadily as the mint dissolved.
Overall, the experience was clean, aromatic, and well calibrated, offering a dynamic citrus progression that felt more nuanced than typical flavoured mints.
This Asahi Mintia Breeze Fragrant Plus+ Lemon & Lime contained 22 g (30 pieces). It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
