Kirin has launched its Kirin Hyoketsu in Australia. A leading pre-mix drinks brand in Japan, Kirin Hyoketsu Lemon offers a refreshing blend of vodka, soda and frozen lemon juice.

As the first country outside of Japan to receive Kirin Hyoketsu, Kirin says the launch is testament to Japan's popularity with Australian visitors, with Japan being Australia’s third most-visited overseas destination in April 2023.

Since launching in 2001, Kirin Hyoketsu has experienced large success in Japan.

Kirin Hyoketsu has a 6 per cent alcohol content, 0.3g of sugar, and 116 calories, crafted using Kirin Hyoketsu's distinctive lemon juice, created using the Hyoten Toketsu method.

The signature technique freezes the lemon juice to deliver a perfect blend of sweet and sour lemon notes with a clean, crisp flavour without any lingering aftertaste.

Kirin Hyoketsu is available at Australian bottle stores for RRP$ 21.99 for four and RRP$ 47.99 for 10.
