One of the most common “Wow!” reactions from customers lately comes from this Red Guava Fruit Liqueur. You might not be familiar with this fruit, but the moment it touches your lips, it’s like sipping a tropical fruit punch. Its rich medley of exotic fruit flavors keeps people coming back for refill after refill. Perfect for BBQs, boat trips, or chill gatherings during the summer holidays.

This drink was created by the bartender of “Kaon,” a Japanese-style bar in Saga Prefecture — no wonder it feels like enjoying a cocktail at the counter. The recipe blends red guava purée, mango purée, and rambutan juice (don’t worry, no durian aroma), then mixes them with a distilled spirit base. Bottled at 9% ABV, it’s sold by Koimari Shuzo.

On opening, aromas of peach and mango fill the air, carrying a tropical flair. The flavor is surprisingly intense: guava and pineapple upfront, mango in the middle, followed by a touch of strawberry-like tang. Sweetness is moderate, balanced with mouthwatering acidity. The 9% ABV is barely noticeable — everyone can enjoy it. Served neat, it has a slight fruit-pulp texture, but once you add ice, it becomes irresistibly refreshing.

Mixed 1:1 with soda water, the cooling sensation skyrockets. The crispness, sweet-tart juiciness, and tropical notes transport you to a breezy Southeast Asian beach, making it all too easy to drain your glass in one go. The drinking pleasure is addictive — time to raise your glasses with friends!

This is officially a limited-release product, but no end date is given, so grab it while you can!
