This is the Asahi Mitsuya Kodawari Domestic Mix Juice Soda, a carbonated mixed juice beverage containing 1% fruit juice sourced from domestically grown harehime, apple, Kawachi bankan, Japanese nashi, and lemon, blended with domestic milk.

The beverage had an opaque beige hue and a sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of traditional Japanese mix juice, underpinned by soft citrus and orchard fruit notes. Carbonation was moderate.

When consumed chilled, it presented a bright, layered citrus flavour with the freshness of harehime and Kawachi bankan offering an orange-like brightness without any bitterness. This was complemented by the floral, juicy sweetness of nashi and apple, which added depth and roundedness. As the flavour developed, the overall profile settled into a soft, tropical finish reminiscent of banana—a nostalgic note often associated with Japanese fruit mix drinks. The milk component contributed a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel, enhancing the drink’s overall creaminess without introducing overt dairy notes. The result was a well-balanced, flavour-forward soda with a refined yet familiar profile.

Overall, a nostalgic yet refined take on classic Japanese mix juice, offering a smooth, fruit-forward profile with a clean, well-rounded finish.

This Asahi Mitsuya Kodawari Domestic Mix Juice Soda contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sendai, Japan in 2025.
