Kirin Mets Grapefruit

This soda is amazing. I tried it on my first trip to Japan and just fell in love with it. I love grapefruits and this soda is so refreshing. I had a hard time coming across it in a vending machine in Tokyo but found it pretty easily in Kyoto. My first trip I only noticed this one and Met's Cola along Kirin's Mets line but now there are some other fruit flavors. I have noticed a lot more grapefruit soda drinks last year then 3 years ago.  This drink has such a nice sweet grapefruit flavor inside. I think about ordering a case and having it delivered here in the states but know it would be costly. YES GET THIS.

So this is from my trip to Japan last year. Man it seems to have been awhile but all the food reviews and images that are from that trip were from my phone so sorry about that. I love Met's drinks from Kirin. My first trip to Japan there was Met's Cola and Met's Grapefruit (all time favorite). This last trip I found that there were more offered in the line. This is one of them. I picked it up at a 7-Eleven and boy did it have some carbonation. It had the refreshing feel to it but I was not sold on the taste. I may be biased because my tastes for Lychee has dropped really. Other then that I can see it to be really enjoyable.   

Kirin Peach Tea

Aww man I love Kirin drinks, like their Royal Milk Tea. This is a peach tea that I came across the local market. It is a light pink color and has a peach taste. Not bad, I would get it again for sure. It has some tea but reminded me more of juice. 0 calories, 100% delicious. 

Kirin Koiwai Junsui Hakutou White Peach Juice

  

 This drink is really enjoyable. It is a non carbonated peach flavor soft drink and reminds me of a lot of the non carbonated fruit drinks that you can get in Japan. Owned by Kirin which bought the Koiwai Family Products which produced milk for a lot of eastern Japan. At about 200 calories for the entire bottle it may not be the healthiest of drinks that I have reviewed on the site but still is delicious. Shake before drinking! It has a definitive peach flavor to it which is one of my favorite fruits. I guess I was biased in the store when I saw the peach on the front I instantly grabbed it. It is sweet.  At $2.99 it is a high price for a 15.6 fluid ounces (470 ml), but glad I at least tried it. A mix drink would cost you more and I would still enjoy this more. I can tell you now that i would buy this again but $2.99 is pretty steep in which I wouldn't unless a bit lower. I honestly can not find much information about this actual beverage or the history other then news articles about Kirin owning most of the shares in Koiwai and running the beverage side of the business and helping out with their dairy side.
