Sanzo earns positive reviews for refreshing, Asian-inspired sparkling waters that taste clean and often true to fruit—standouts include Lychee, Calamansi, and Yuzu—so yes, the brand works as a flavorful, low-sugar alternative. Reviews also flag inconsistencies: several flavors read muted or overly tart/sour, carbonation can feel either too soft or too aggressive, and pomelo/mango divide opinion, making the lineup hit-or-miss for some.

  • Sanzo sparkling water is an interesting twist on sparkling water thanks to its Asian-inspired flavors. I first discovered it when enjoying Chinese food at Panda Express. It pairs excellently with Chinese food but also goes well with many other foods or just by itself. I also appreciate the real fruit and zero added sugar to make this a healthy drink option.

  • Sanzo Sparkling Water is a standout beverage with its unique, authentic Asian-inspired flavors like lychee, calamansi, and mango. Made with real fruit juice and no added sugars, it's a refreshing, clean alternative to sugary drinks. The gentle carbonation adds a smooth fizz, making each sip enjoyable without overwhelming the palate. The flavors are vibrant and refreshing, perfect for those looking for something different from typical sparkling waters. While it’s a bit pricier, it’s totally worth it for the quality and taste. Highly recommend!

  • They have some of the best flavors- they keep it simple and unique. Their options are so refreshing and fun (I love lychee and calamansi). It's been fun to see these popping up at more stores in recent years.

    I don't purchase it as much when I see in public because I have tried all the flavors they have out there- so it would be nice to see more flavor options soon!

  • Super tasty! The flavors are not as strong as I typically like but they're delicious.

  • The lychee flavor is just sooo good. It's great on its own or as a mixer. I don't particularly love the mango flavor and I haven't tried the other. But I really do love the lychee 🌸

    Not sure if its recyclable due to the plastic wrapping?

  • Sanzo's Alphonso Mango sparkling water tastes like summer in a can. It's become my non-alcoholic alternative at social gatherings - festive in a glass but without the next-day regrets of cocktails before early workouts.

  • I like sanzo a lot, calamansi being my favorite flavor. It's not my go to when I'm reaching for sparkling drinks and I can't quite pinpoint why that is the case. Perhaps if I'm grabbing a bubbly drink, I'm looking for something that has more benefits instead. But when Sanzo is available at a social event, I'm sure to drink it!

  • These are 10 stars for me. There is nothing better on the market. Real juice and no "natural flavors." These are outstanding!

  • I love sanzo’s yuzu flavor. It is refreshing and clean taste with good amount of carbonation. You can drink it during your work time, or even with food since the taste is not too strong. Love the packaging too!

  • Lovely flavours (with the Calamansi being a standout!) The drinks come in brightly coloured cans (evocative of the flavour inside) making it easy to spot + select when buying. Carbonation lasts for a decently long period and the flavouring just-right; the flavouring for the Pomelo could verge on the edge of being too subtle.

  • love the branding and Asian flavors but there's also no flavors to it as well. I prefer adding real fruits or canned asian fruits to my own sparkling water for more flavors.

  • If you like sparkling water, these are fun flavors. If you don’t like sparkling water, this will not convert you either

  • I just recently discovered these at whole foods, and the ginger yuzu is my absolute favorite! It is so addicting, and such a good treat!

  • I love Sanzo! The flavors are accurate and way more robust than a flavored seltzer like La Croix. I like that they have real fruit in them. They're a fantastic alternative to soda, *and* they look great and work well as mixers.

  • The lychee flavor of Sanzo is the absolute GOAT. Can't seem to find anything else like it and highly recommend if lychee is your style! It never misses.
