This is the Ehime Beverage POM Ehime Kiyomi Cider. It contained 10% juice from kiyomi grown in Ehime Prefecture. Kityomi is a Japanese citrus fruit that is a hybrid of a miyagawa mikan and an orange that is known for its sweetness and subtle acidity.

The drink had a sweet aroma reminiscent of mikan and the bright scent of orange, with an opaque orange-yellow hue amd mild carbonation. When served chilled, it revealed a robust mikan flavor, offering a deep and vibrant sweetness that was complemented by a brief touch of sourness, introducing a refreshing complexity to the citrus profile in the body. The soft acidity quickly subsided, leading to a sweet and crisply elegant finish, enhanced by the effervescence that cleansed the palate, leaving a clean aftertaste. In summary, we enjoyed the well-balanced interplay of sweet and sour elements that contributed to the rich and delightful kiyomi flavour of this refreshing carbonated beverage.

This Ehime Beverage POM Ehime Kiyomi Cider contained 410 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Hong Kong in 2023.
