I tried to see how much melon 'Mitsuya Material Melon Soda' using melon juice, melon extract and melon puree is



' Mitsuya Material Melon Soda ', a carbonated drink made with three types of melon ingredients, 'Muskmelon juice', 'Muskmelon extract', and 'Hokkaido blue flesh melon puree', was released on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. It uses a 'fruit enhancement method' that enhances the taste and aroma of the fruit by suppressing heat, so you can enjoy the original taste of the fruit, so I actually bought it and drank it to see what it tastes like.

'Mitsuya Sozaiha Melon Soda' to be released on May 6th

I found Mitsuya Sozaiha Melon Soda in the drink corner of Aeon. Although there were a few children's drinks lined up in the upper right corner, the entire counter was filled with Mitsuya Sozaiha Melon Soda. The price was 98 yen (excluding tax).



So I bought five bottles of Mitsuya Melon Soda.



Contains 1% fruit juice.



The ingredients include glucose syrup, melon juice, melon puree, melon extract, acidulant, flavoring, safflower yellow pigment, and gardenia blue pigment.



Calories are 43kcal per 100ml. Mitsuya Sozaiha Melon Soda comes in a 500ml bottle, so the calories per bottle are 215kcal.



When poured into a clear glass to check the color of the liquid, it looks like this. It's a yellowish green color, close to the color of a real melon.



As you bring it close to your mouth, the sweet aroma of melon wafts through the air. However, the melon flavor is at its peak when you enjoy the aroma, and the strong tingling sensation of the carbonation may affect the melon flavor on your tongue, making it a little weak. The flavor is quite close to real melon, but it's completely different from the bright green melon soda you can get at coffee shops. After swallowing, the sweetness lingers in your mouth and the melon aroma leaves your nose, allowing you to enjoy the melon flavor for a long time.



Mitsuya Material Melon Soda was released on May 6, 2025, with a suggested retail price of 194 yen including tax. At the time of writing, a set of 24 bottles is available on Amazon.co.jp for 2620 yen including tax (approximately 109 yen per bottle).
