I tried 'Mitsuya MERRY APPLE Sparkling' which has a refreshing apple flavor and sharp carbonation that matches meals and sweets perfectly

To commemorate the 140th anniversary of the Mitsuya brand, which is represented by Mitsuya Cider, Mitsuya MERRY APPLE Sparkling , a product that combines the refreshing and sparkling flavor of apples with cider, will be available for a limited time from December 10, 2024. It is said to be the perfect product for when you want to liven up your mealtime mood, such as Christmas or celebrations, so I actually got my hands on it and tried it.

I bought 'Mitsuya MERRY APPLE Sparkling'.

The package says '140TH ANNIVERSARY'.

It is a carbonated beverage, and its ingredients include sugar, apple juice, and fermented apple juice.

The calorie content is 43kcal per 100ml, or 215kcal per 500ml bottle.

I opened the lid and poured it into a glass. The smell was not a strong one, but rather refreshing, reminiscent of apple candy. The color was a light, clear amber.

When I took a sip, the sourness combined with the carbonation gave it a very refreshing taste. Mitsuya Cider's apple flavor has appeared in the past, such as the '

Mitsuya Tokuno Apple Squash ' in 2023, but while Mitsuya Tokuno Apple Squash was made with 20% fruit juice and even apple syrup, which gave it a rich flavor, Mitsuya MERRY APPLE Sparkling is made with 1% fruit juice and has a less sweet taste. It has a strong apple flavor and a refreshing aftertaste, so it's easy to choose when you're thirsty, and I felt that it was an easy drink to pair with salty snacks and meals, as well as sweet desserts.

Mitsuya MERRY APPLE Sparkling is available at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of 194 yen (tax included). Also, on Amazon, you can purchase a pack of 24 for 2,958 yen (tax included) (123 yen per bottle).
