Kimino Sparking Yuzu: I sift through hundreds of snacks both because I love exploring new tastes but also because I'm always looking for a hidden treasure. Sometimes it's a fresh, unexpected flavor combination, while other times it's just the most perfectly executed version of something more familiar. This Kimino sparking yuzu drink falls in the latter category. The small bottle is perfectly sized for a single serving. The bottom contains sediments of yuzu rind (they utilize the entire fruit to make the beverage). It didn't look carbonated, but upon opening, small bubbles immediately rose to the surface, almost like quality champagne. The citrus flavor is simultaneously incredibly light and refreshing, yet leaves a clean, concentrated aftertaste. And it's just sweetened enough to balance the tartness of the fruit. Quite frankly, there is absolutely nothing I would change about this drink - it is bottled yuzu perfection. It's the type of exceptional product that actually makes me feel emotional. It joins just <1% of snacks that I have given a perfect 5.0. Purchased at Monterey Market in Berkeley, by way of Japan. 5.0/5.0
