Exciting New Flavors from Papico

Ezaki Glico Co., known for its beloved frozen smoothie brand Papico, is set to unveil refreshed versions of their popular flavors, "Papico White Sour®" and "Papico Muscat & Chardonnay" on April 6, 2026. This article will delve into the enticing enhancements that aim to enrich the overall taste experience for Papico enthusiasts across Japan.

Revitalized White Sour®

The revamped "Papico White Sour®" features an innovative twist, increasing the amount of its unique fermented milk by 1.2 times, amplifying its creamy texture. The addition of citrus juice not only elevates the flavor profile but also introduces a refreshing sweetness that beautifully balances the tangy characteristics typical of white sour. The result is a delectable harmony of tartness and sweetness, perfectly suited for those warm spring days.

A Juicy Blend: Muscat & Chardonnay

On the other hand, the new "Papico Muscat & Chardonnay" promises an explosion of fruity zest, bringing together the luxurious taste of Muscat of Alexandria and the crispness of Chardonnay. By blending these two juicy fruit juices (38% Muscat of Alexandria and 20% Chardonnay), the product aims to deliver a bright and invigorating taste experience. This combination not only brings a vibrant aroma but also encapsulates the juiciness that has become synonymous with the Papico brand.
