Fanta Ume

Fanta Japan... I just love how you are willing to try different flavours.
This time we have the Fanta Ume.
Ume is a Japanese plum and is supposedly inedible because it is very, very sour.
It is usually pickled or made into a juice or liqueur.
But here it is in the form of a carbonated soft drink.



The lable on the bottle is kind of simple for a Japanese soft drink.
But nevertheless, it shows the fruit and the green/yellow colour palette is nice.
It has a very sweet scent that is very plum like.
It is actually very pleasant and it makes my mouth water.
The flavour is also very sweet and has a nice tone of plum.
I think the flavour is perfectly balanced between the sweet and the fruity.
This is, so far, my favourite Fanta flavour.

Fanta Mango & Passionfruit [Limited Edition]

I have only writen about Fanta once on this blog before.
But that must change, as I have tried lots of nice and special Fanta flavours.
And this is one of them.



A limited edition Fanta with mango and passionfruit flavour.
I like both mango and passionfruit, so this should be an easy fit.
I really like the can, except the Fanta world person, I do not like him.
Maybey because I absolutely hate that commercial.
The can has a nice representation of the flavour.
Purple for passionfruit and orange for mango (and orange juice, because there is lots of that in it).



The soda does not really smell like anything more than regular Fanta.
I would have liked a more mango smell, because that is really nice.
What about the taste?
Both the mango and the passionfruit flavouring is kind of tame.
On account of the orange juice.
Yes, it tastes the most of orange juice, but the other flavours are also there.
It is a really nice soda, but I can not help but wonder what the taste would have been without the orange.

Fanta Super Fruits Mix [Limited Edition]

From Japan (where else) comes the Fanta Super Fruits Mix.
A bold mix of fruits and flavours.
This is a limited edition Fanta with Acerola, Passionfruit, White Grape, Green Sweet Apple, and Grapefruit.

I was hesitant to try it at first.
You see, I don't really like it when you mix lots of fruits into one single juice/soda.
Mostly, the flavours doesn't mix well and you get something that doesn't taste very good.

But this one is from Fanta and has both vitamin C and E, so it should be good?
I carefully opened the bottle. I wanted to expose myself to its scent from the start.
And what a scent it is. Or should i say scents.
It doesn't smell like one thing, but several things and at different times.
The first whiff might smell sour, the second sweet, the third... Something else completely.
It's a really cool feature and it makes me eager to taste it.



The packaging... Is kind of trippy, lots of different fonts and colours and fruits and such.
Not a favourite but I still like it.
And the coulour of the drink is just awesome.
I can only describe it as vitamin-tablet-yellow.

So, how does it taste?
Well, the taste is kind of like the smell. It alternates.
The first swig is sour, the second sweet... You get the picture.
It's both good and bad at the same time but not at the same time.
Unfortunately it doesn't end there.
The flavours starts mixing and you get what i described above.
Something not so tasty.
At least I was happy about it for a while and I would definently recommend it.
