Reviews mention

  • Distinctive asian-inspired flavors
  • Natural fruit-forward taste
  • Clean low-sugar formulation
  • Versatile cocktail mixer
  • 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.

  • These are a treat because they are pricier - around $12 for a 6-pack where I live and that's a lot for sparkling water that isn't THAT different from other brands that are half the price. I only buy them when they are on sale or one at a time. What makes them different is the unique flavors (lychee is my favorite). I also like that there is no added sugar.

  • Sanzo's yuzu sparkling water is delightfully refreshing. The taste is crisp, effervescent, bright, and tangy. It makes a great mixer for a citrusy summer cocktail, but it's also lovely just to sip on. And the cute, simple packaging adds to the appeal. It'd look perfect at a picnic. Plus, there's no added sugar. Cheers to that!

  • Great alternative to a sparkling soda and it comes in unique flavors. Not too sweet and very refreshing!

  • Excellent flavors, super enjoyable to drink! I love taking one of these out from my fridge at any time of day honestly. It is on the more expensive side for a sparkling water though so I don't get them often.

  • i wish i could drink the yuzu sanzo in place of every glass of water i ever consume

  • Flavors are a hit or miss. Our office stock these regularly so I've gotten to try different flavors. Love the lychee and mango.

    Nothing I can think of

  • You can never go wrong with a mango-flavored beverage. I knew I had try this after the Shang-Chi collab

  • Absolutely love every flavor, they all offer something different. Just enough sweetness and flavor, love that they use real juice and no fake or "natural" sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia which are disgusting.

    I will say these are pricey, sometimes more than beer.

  • Delicious. I first tried them at a friend's house and now keep cases in my kitchen and fridge. I love them at night before bed with a bit of fresh mint, ice, and lemon.

  • I have tried all of the flavors: Mango, Lychee, and Calamansi. They are all delicious. My favorite one is Lychee.

  • Love the mango and lychee. It’s a nice upgrade from flavored sparkling water, with just 20 calories. I keep this in regular rotation in my fridge.

    Would love to see more flavors.

  • The Mango flavor is so good! I love that there's no sugar added and still very flavorful

  • These are solid. Mango and calamansi are exceptional, lychee got a bit cloying. Love the no-added-sugar situation too.

    Can't wait for more flavors!

  • Sanzo makes such tasty sparkling water! It's so expensive, and not really worth the price, but it's such a nice splurge for a once-in-a-while treat. I buy them for picnics to make them feel more special.

  • I really liked the lychee flavor! Not super sweet and super refreshing. I would go back to try other flavors as I really liked that they are Asian inspired

  • Love the unique flavors from this brand’s current products. With so many brands doing the same thing its refreshing and enjoyable when a brand introducing something new and exciting. I hope they release more flavors. The only downside is the price.

  • A solid sparkling water with unique flavors. A bit pricey tho compared to your average sparkling water so it's not something I'd buy regularly.

  • I love that Sanzo is bringing more Asian-inspired flavors to the mainstream and I think their Calamansi flavor is the standout from the ones that I've tried (Mango, Calamansi, Lychee). However, as with most sparkling waters, especially zero added sugar ones, I think the flavors can be a bit lackluster. It's exciting to see things like Calamansi become more mainstream, but I'm not sure if the flavor of it really comes through when drinking.
