Pal System's Original Salt-Free Domestic Tomato Juice

Pal System Union, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is excited to announce the launch of its new private brand product: the "Salt-Free Domestic Tomato Juice for Enjoying Seasonal Flavors." Orders will be accepted starting August 25. This delightful beverage is made entirely from 100% seasonal domestic tomatoes, offering the fresh taste of premium produce from Japan.

A Luxurious Treat Made from Seasonal Domestic Tomatoes

The new tomato juice is crafted solely from domestic tomatoes, cultivated by contracted farmers. The tomatoes are exclusively harvested at their peak ripeness during the summer season, ensuring an optimal selection. In order to preserve the rich sweetness and umami flavor of fully ripe tomatoes, only the brightest red fruits are handpicked and processed promptly into juice while still fresh.

This straight juice—made entirely from seasonal domestic tomatoes—delivers a fresh and pure taste. Without any added salt, it's a versatile option that can also serve as a fantastic ingredient for soups and other dishes.
