KIRIN World Kitchen Salty Lychee - A Japanese Hit

KIRIN World Kitchen Salty Lychee is a popular drink among young people in Japan, to an extent where it is now considered a hit. The producer, KIRIN has even introduced a 1.5-liter bottle version of the drink, a first in the "World Kitchen" lineup.
On the bottle is some interesting text that tells about how the drink got its concept from a Thai dessert called ローイ・ゲーオ(probably: Loy Kaew) from a lady in Thailand. It also includes the lady's quote that "Fruit becomes more delicious with salt" and that they(World Kitchen) used that wisdom to produce this drink, which uses salt from Okinawa.

What's Inside?
The drink contains less than 10% of fruit juice, which includes lychee, grapes, and grapefruit, so it's mostly water. On top of that, the drink contains salt from Okinawa, sugar, and herbs.

Taste
Despite the fact that it's less than 10% juice, you can definitely taste the lychee in there. You can also taste the slight saltiness which gives the drink a nice zest to it. The drink tastes best when it's chilled, and one can understand why it's such a hit. It's unusual, unique, and tastes great.
