Kirin announces new beverage product launches for September 2026

Kirin is expanding its beverage portfolio with two new product launches scheduled for September 2026.

Kirin Beer will release a limited-edition pomegranate flavor for its Hyoketsu Muto series. This new product, featuring 4% alcohol content, is the first pomegranate-flavored offering in the brand's history. The sugar-free chu-hi is designed to be refreshing and easy to pair with meals, available in 350ml and 500ml cans starting September 1, 2026.

Additionally, Kirin Beverage will renew its Gogo no Kocha FRUITS & ICE TEA series on September 15, 2026. The updated lineup includes two varieties: Orange and Grapefruit, and White Grape and Lemon. Both products utilize 100% Sri Lankan Uva tea leaves and are fortified with a daily recommended amount of Vitamin C. The 500ml PET bottles aim to target consumers looking for refreshing, high-quality fruit tea options.
