Suntory is bringing back "-196 (Ichikyuroku) Sugar-Free <Peach Sparkling>" nationwide from Tuesday, September 1, for a limited period.
The -196 brand has been on shelves since 2005, crafted using Suntory's proprietary "-196°C manufacturing method." Within the lineup, the "-196 Sugar-Free" series has been well received for delivering the natural taste of fruit with a clean, refreshing finish, all without added sugar.
This time, the Peach Sparkling flavor — well received when it was previously released — returns as a limited release, aiming to further expand the brand's fan base.
Flavor and Packaging
The drink is made with peach-steeped liquor produced using Suntory's proprietary "-196°C manufacturing method," combined with peach juice. It offers the juiciness of peach along with a solid fruit character, finished with the crisp, refreshing aftertaste characteristic of the sugar-free lineup.
The can's overall design expresses a refreshing carbonated feel and lightness, while a large fruit illustration and the word "Sugar-Free" at the top of the can highlight the flavor. An icon reading "Uses 100%* peach fruit-steeped liquor" conveys the brand's commitment to its manufacturing method.
