Unveiling the Fukushima Akatsuki Peach in a New Can Format
In an exciting development for beverage lovers and fans of the renowned peach from Fukushima,
East Japan Railway Company's Water Business Company, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is set to release the
Fukushima Akatsuki Peach as a canned drink starting
August 5, 2025. This launch will be part of
Acure, the unique beverage brand offered by the company, aiming at providing high-quality drinks in train stations and other selected venues.
However, due to soaring production costs and challenges in securing production facilities, the anticipated release in plastic bottles has been deemed unfeasible for the current year. Instead, a strategic shift has allowed the drink to be made available in cans via online stores along with selected vending machines and retail locations.
The
Fukushima Akatsuki Peach drink promises an authentic taste experience by using
100% straight peach juice derived exclusively from the famous Akatsuki variety cultivated in Fukushima. This ensures that consumers can expect the same rich flavor that has become synonymous with its previous bottle releases. Given the limited availability of the fruit, the product will be launched in limited quantities, making it a sought-after item.
Described as having the taste sensation of drinking an entire peach, the drink has already garnered significant attention on social media. Although presented in a different format this year,
Acure encourages customers to savor the deliciousness that Fukushima peaches offer.

Comments from the Team
The Fukushima Akatsuki Peach has been immensely popular over the years. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances, we were unable to offer it in its traditional plastic bottle format this year. Nonetheless, we are committed to ensuring that our loyal customers can continue to enjoy this beloved product. Shifting to a canned version was a bittersweet decision, but we assure you that the
taste remains unchanged. The delightful fragrance and the sensation of biting into a fresh peach is one of the unique features that only the Fukushima Akatsuki Peach can provide.
The Akure-maded
Fukushima Akatsuki Peach was first introduced as
Momo Gokochi in
2011, marking 15 years since its initial launch. With various changes throughout the years, we strive to maintain the essence of what makes this drink special and continue to resonate with our customers.
Caps may not be available, and the volume is less, but the beloved juice and the passion behind it remain at
100%.
Expected for 2025, we invite you to relish the
Fukushima Akatsuki Peach in its fresh form and anticipate yet another year of enjoyment!
