Japanese Chu-hi, Re-imagined for the U.S.
First poured in Tokyo Izakaya bars, Chu-hi cocktails now fuel Japan's second-largest RTD market. MARU-HI translates that bar staple into a crisp flavored-malt beverage, delivering balanced taste with roughly 128 calories and fewer than 8 g of carbs per 12-oz serving.

Flavor Line-up

• Traditional Citrus – subtle lemon-lime backbone
• Strawberry – fresh, bright and berry-forward
• Pineapple – juicy tropical refreshment inspired by Southern Japan
• Kiwi – sweet-tart, lightly exotic, the newest Izakaya favorite

Built for Sharing
With three cans of each flavor, the variety pack removes the need to choose-perfect for backyard BBQs, sushi take-away nights or beach coolers. The launch advances Suntory's goal of becoming the world's leading ready-to-drink company by 2030.
