As Japan’s most iconic convenience store, FamilyMart is home to iconic refreshing treats that are nation exclusives.
Sacre Lemon Shaved Ice
Sacre is the brand Futaba’s best-selling product – a lemon-flavored shaved ice treat that you’ll find at every freezer section in FamilyMart. Utterly refreshing in every sense of the word, this item actually features a real slice of lemon to add a real sour taste to the treat while enhancing the richness of the refreshing lemon flavor.
Lemon Sour GariGari-kun Ice Block
GariGari-kun is a beloved brand of the Japanese confectionery world, featuring a special crunchy lemon ice block that is designed to bite and chew as it easily crumbles against your teeth. While the default flavor is plain lemon, this lemon sour flavor offers a stronger hit of lemon with a more sour taste, as you would expect.
Orange Coconut Milk Drink
A rather new drink on the FamilyMart shelves, this orange coconut milk drink is a top-tier refresher, though I fear it may be a limited edition item. Featuring real pieces of orange pulp mixed with a sweet, creamy coconut milk, it’s one of the most unique flavors of milk drinks I’ve ever tasted, and one of the most delicious too!
