This is the Suntory Craft Boss Juwatto Ichigō no Mix Au Lait, made with 10% juice from apples and strawberries.

The drink had an opaque, pastel pink hue and emitted a sweet-tart aroma reminiscent of strawberry-flavoured drinkable yoghurt.

When consumed chilled, it opened with a clean, unmistakably fresh strawberry note—fruity in tone, sweet without being cloying, and free from artificiality. This was followed by a vivid acidity that lifted the profile and reinforced the fruit’s natural character. The body was moderately rich and slightly viscous, though smooth and drinkable throughout, with just the faintest hint of dairy rounding out the texture. A subtle astringency lingered in the aftertaste, contributing to a clean finish.

Overall, this beverage effectively captured the balance of sweet and tart qualities associated with fresh strawberry juice while maintaining a restrained use of dairy and a muted presence from the apple juice. The result was a drink that felt light and natural and suited to adult palates—distinctly different from the heavily sugared, synthetic strawberry milks of Western childhoods. Its clarity and freshness of flavour make it a compelling candidate for repurchase.
