Yuzu is an East Asian citrus that tastes like a mix of grapefruit, mandarin and lime with a strong floral aroma. Its sharp acidity lets a drink taste bright with less sugar, which suits low-sugar juice drinks. ACM’s Low Sugar Yuzu Juice Drink comes in a 350 ml (11.8 fl oz) PET bottle with an 18-month shelf life.
What does yuzu taste like?
Yuzu is more aromatic and less harsh than lemon. The zest carries most of the fragrance, which is floral and slightly herbal, while the juice is tart with a grapefruit-like bitterness. Because the fruit has thick peel, many seeds and little juice, pure yuzu juice is expensive, so drinks usually blend yuzu juice or purée with water and a sweetener.

Why does yuzu suit low-sugar drinks?
- Acidity and aroma: strong citrus notes keep the drink refreshing when sugar is reduced.
- Vitamin C: yuzu juice contains vitamin C, similar to lemon juice (around 40 mg per 100 ml in raw juice), although processing and dilution lower the amount in a finished drink.
- Familiar premium image: in Korea (yuja) and Japan, yuzu is linked to tea, desserts and winter drinks, which gives it a premium profile abroad.
