Beat the Summer Heat with Delicious Treats from FamilyMart!

As Japan faces increasingly hot summers, the need for hydration and heatstroke prevention becomes ever more critical. FamilyMart, preparing to celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026, is introducing refreshing releases that perfectly combine taste with summer safety. Set to launch on July 14, 2026, two exciting new items—the "Sakure Salty Lychee" ice treat and the "Sakure Gummy Lemon & Salty Lychee"—will be available at over 16,400 FamilyMart locations nationwide (with the ice treat available in all but Okinawa).

A Refreshing Treat for Hot Days

The Sakure Salty Lychee, priced at 170 yen (tax included: 183 yen), is designed to help you beat the sweltering summer heat while replenishing essential salts in a delightful way. This popular ice treat has been elevated by adding premium salt from Miyako Island in Okinawa, offering a rich and addictive salty-sweet balance alongside the refreshing fruity notes of lychee juice sourced from Taiwan. With additional flavors from grape and grapefruit juices, every bite is a mini-vacation on a hot summer day, perfectly complemented by fresh slices of lemon for a burst of tanginess.

New Gummy Flavor to Enjoy On the Go

In addition to the ice treat, FamilyMart's popular Sakure Gummy line is getting an exciting twist with the introduction of a new flavor—Salty Lychee! This gummy will feature two types of textures in one bag: the iconic crunchy lemon slice gummies and the lightweight cube-shaped Salty Lychee gummies, both combining for a delightful surprise. Perfect for the office or while on the move, these gummies offer the same refreshing Sakure experience but in a convenient format that allows you to enjoy the flavors wherever you go.
