Recently there are many carbonated drinks using artificial sweetener that sell calories zero, but "Mellow Yellow" uses only fructose glucose liquid sugar. It is said that it is a citrus-based beverage, but since it is fruit juice, it seems that it gives its flavor with fragrance.


There was a campaign seal on the cap. I tried peeling off the seal, but nothing was printed on the cap body besides the direction of twisting.


The logo was used at the time of release, but a new surfer and wave design has been added to the bottom of the bottle.


When I tried drinking, the first thing I felt was soft taste. It is characterized by carbonic acid which bubbles are fine and disappears quite a bit and sweetness of clear sugar is characteristic. It is the opposite of the taste strength and refreshing feeling like many carbonated drinks that have been recently sold, rather than drinking with Gubigubi, feeling that I want to relax relaxedly while sitting in the shade of a shade. It's basic to remind you of "carbonated drinks that were drinking in the past".

There is something called "cheap because it is cheap" like a candy in the world, but this Mellow Yellow is exactly that. I enjoyed the taste of when the word itself "natural material" or "zero calorie" itself did not exist.
