What You Should Know

You'd spot this slim bottled drink in the refrigerated specialty or Asian beverages aisle, or brought to a picnic or summer brunch as a refreshing, fizzy alternative to soda. It gives a nostalgic, lightly indulgent vibe with a clean plum (ume) flavor profile. The short ingredient list (sparkling water, plum juice/puree, cane sugar) implies carbonation and bottling for texture and shelf life but no obvious industrial additives, suggesting processing without heavy ultra‑processed formulation.

Common Questions about Ume Sparkling Juice, 8.45 FZ

Healthiness can be a bit subjective! Ume Sparkling Juice is low in calories (just 58 per bottle) and made with simple, organic ingredients, which is a plus. However, it does contain 13 grams of sugar, mostly from the ume plum juice and puree, so if you're watching your sugar intake, keep that in mind.
