A 'refreshing Kawachi Bankan' tasting review using Kawachi Bankan called 'Japanese grapefruit', what is different from ordinary grapefruit?

' Refreshing Kawachi Bankan ' using

Kawachi Bankan , also known as 'Japanese grapefruit', has been introduced since May 19, 2020. I actually drank to see what kind of taste Kawachi Bankan has, which has a less bitter taste and a lighter sweetness than grapefruit.

The package of 'Refreshing Kawachi Bankan' is designed with a cute Kawachi Bankan.

Kawachi Bankan is cultivated in some areas of Ehime prefecture and Kumamoto prefecture, and 30% of Kawachi Bankan from Ehime prefecture is used for refreshing Kawachi Bankan.

The capacity is 280 ml, and the height of the PET bottle is about 1.5 times that of a transportation IC card.

In addition to Kawachi Bankan, raw materials include sugars, flavors, acidulants, and vitamin C.

The calories are 48 kcal per 100 ml, so the content of 280 ml is about 134 kcal.

I poured it into a cup to check the contents. The smell is not so strong, and when you close your nose, you can feel a scent similar to grapefruit.

When you drink it, the refreshing sweetness and sourness similar to Buntan spread in your mouth. The sweetness is strong because it contains sugar. The aftertaste has a slightly bitter bitterness, but compared to grapefruit, the bitterness is milder, and it is a drink with a smooth mouthfeel that is easy to drink. Since the bitterness peculiar to grapefruit is small, it may be somewhat unsatisfactory for those who like grapefruit, but when the editorial staff who are not good at grapefruit drink it, it was popular with 'less bitterness and easy to drink'. It has a small amount of content and moderate sweetness and bitterness, so it is a drink that you will want to drink when you want to take a break while working.

'Refreshing Kawauchi Bankan' can be purchased at an ACUA vending machine located in the station yard of JR East, and the price is 140 yen including tax.
