  • Distinctive asian-inspired flavors

  • Clean low-sugar formulation

  • Inconsistent flavor intensity
  • Occasionally overly tart profile
  • Variable carbonation balance
  • Polarizing pomelo and mango

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.

  • I love calamansi limes, so hard to find in fresh form, I am so happy they have this available in sparkling water form! I want to try it as a mixer soon.

  • as a Filipino, i was beyond excited to try Sanzo!!! Lychee ended up being my favorite out of the bunch. I personally would love some more flavor payoff but aside from that, they're perfect. plus points for the eye-catching branding as well!

  • It was interesting! It includes actual fruit and not just the essence, so the fruit flavors linger. I got the mango and thought it was a bit sour, but I'd like to try the other flavors for sure.

  • Hands down the best basic flavors seltzer.

    I’m not a fan of the packaging.

  • like good i guess. kinda in between a healthy soda and a spindrift, my first flavor i tried was lychee or something though and i cant say i enjoyed it!

  • These are SO good. The lychee flavor is my fave! Definitely on the pricier side, but worth picking up when they're on sale.

  • My go to if I want a refreshing treat. I love the mango, but will happily consume all the flavors. I love the packaging. So many companies are covering the cans with plastic labels and thankfully Sanzo is not. Perfect balance of flavor and bubbles.

  • Clean, crisp, and lightly sweetened with real fruit. The lychee and calamansi flavors are standouts! The calamansi is bright and zesty. Minimal sugar and clean ingredients make it a solid, guilt-free sip. Fantastic for a subtle, refreshing sip, but a touch more carbonation would make it perfect.

  • Great sparkling water. The lychee flavor was great and unique since I do not find many products lychee flavored. It was not too sweet or artificial tasting.

  • This is expensive but I find it on sale every once in awhile and snatch it up, or just get one single at the market for a treat. Yuzu is legitimately my favorite soda ever made. Light, tangy, not too sweet, refreshing, and made with real ingredients.

  • Refreshing and crisp drink. The flavor is very mild though

  • I'm not a huge fan of sparkling drinks in general, but Sanzo has the best flavors! Great to use as mixers as well.

    Friends with Sanzo
  • So delicious and refreshing. It's nice that there are now Asian flavors in the sparkling water category.

    More flavors! Asian pear?

  • These sparkling waters taste incredible. Love using them as mixers for alcohol too.

    Feedback

    They are a little pricey for everyday drinking. But definitely worth it as a treat-yourself moment.

  • Packaging and mission.

    Feedback

    The concept is fun but the flavors didn't jump out as that much of a differentiator

  • These are okay. I feel like some of the flavors are faint and not worth it but others are okay. I dont love but every once in a while theyre okay

  • I absolutely loved the calamansi flavour! I haven't tried any other, but I definitely will the next time I see them (I live in Canada). I tend to not be a huge fan of sweet, sparkling drinks and this was perfect for me, it tasted real (they use real fruit juice) and no added sweetners was just my vibe.

  • Such fun, unique flavors! I also was impressed by the carbonation - while nothing can really dethrone Polar in carbonation, it wasn't as light as Spindrift.

  • love these! similar to spindrift but better flavors AND better flavor overall. the lychee and yuzu are favorites!
