Asahi's Luxury Lychee Chuhai

This lychee flavored chuhai, with moderate 4% alcohol level, is labeled zeitaku shibori, or luxury squeezed, boasting the juice of two lychee fruits. Now, I like luscious little lychee fruits with their rosy flavor and juicy pulp. To make it more enticing, it's one of Asahi's seasonal, limited canned chuhai. It appeared in the shops in late April.

This just tasted vaguely lychee to me, and all I got from it was the sweetness. Really, lychee are best consumed fresh so that you get the perfume that wafts up as you sink your teeth into the sweet flesh.

When I see lychee in the shops, I'll indulge even if they come with a luxurious price.
