A groundbreaking new product that lets you easily enjoy a “drinkable acai bowl” is coming exclusively to 7-Eleven, Japan’s premier “Konbini” (convenience store). On April 14, 2026, Del Monte will release “Pure Fruit Acai Bowl Taste.” This 100% fruit pouch-style beverage generously uses Brazilian acai puree, making it a smart choice for busy mornings or those seeking a healthy snack.
Enjoy a Popular Health Trend On-the-Go! The Benefits of a “Drinkable Acai Bowl”
Now you can enjoy the acai bowls popular at cafes and specialty shops with just one hand, anywhere you like. Originally from Brazil, acai bowls are a healthy meal consisting of the “superfood” acai topped with fruits and cereals. While they usually require a bowl and spoon, this new release eliminates that need.
In addition to acai, this product features a well-balanced blend of bananas, apples, grapes, and mixed berries. It is characterized by a rich, thick texture similar to grated fruit. Whether you’re commuting or at the office, you can experience the satisfaction of an acai bowl with just one hand. Acai is loved worldwide as a superfood rich in polyphenols and iron. For those conscious of beauty and health, having this flavor readily available at 7-Eleven stores in Japan is a major draw.
Del Monte “Pure Fruit” Series: Three Key Commitments
As part of the “Pure Fruit” series, the “Acai Bowl Taste” adheres to three of Del Monte’s strict standards.
1. Satisfying “100% Fruit” and Substantial Volume
This series achieves a “100% fruit” content (fresh fruit equivalent). It contains over 100% concentrated fruit ingredients when converted to a straight juice basis, allowing you to enjoy the pure deliciousness of the fruit. The 110g (approx. 3.88 oz) volume is perfect for when you’re slightly hungry or want to add an extra item to your lunch.
2. Efficiency: Half Your Daily Fruit Intake in One Pouch
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare sets a target daily fruit intake of 200g (approx. 7.05 oz). However, preparing fruit every day can be a daunting task. With the “Pure Fruit” series, a single pouch provides over 100g (approx. 3.53 oz) of fruit—half of the daily goal. This ease of supplementing fruit nutrition is incredibly appealing to busy modern individuals.
3. Functionality: “Freeze and Carry” Convenience for Summer
This series can also be enjoyed frozen. The spring and summer limited-edition packaging features a logo indicating it can be frozen and carried. If frozen in a freezer, it can serve as a substitute for an ice pack in a lunch box. As it thaws over time, you can enjoy a crunchy, sorbet-like texture. It is also perfect for cooling down on a hot day.
A Rich Lineup to Match Your Mood
Beyond the Acai Bowl Taste, there are other attractive flavors available. Choose one based on your mood or physical condition for the day.
Grated Apple
This flavor features the natural sweetness of freshly grated apples. A classic taste, it is also recommended as a breakfast substitute when you have a low appetite.
Grated Mango Mix
Enjoy the rich aroma and melting sweetness of ripe mangoes. It offers a tropical sense of luxury, making it perfect for a reward dessert.
Grated Grape Mix
A rich flavor where the fragrant aroma of grapes spreads. It adds a touch of color when you want to refresh or during an afternoon break.
Grated Kiwi Mix
Characterized by the unique sweet-and-sour taste of kiwi, this flavor offers a refreshing experience. The fresh acidity packed with vitamins is perfect for a change of pace.
Realizing a Healthy Diet at Japanese Convenience Stores
Under the slogan “The Sun to Deliciousness,” Del Monte supports a healthy dietary lifestyle. The “Pure Fruit Acai Bowl Taste” is a product of that philosophy. This new proposal to make fruit more accessible helps you care for yourself amidst a busy life. Experience this rich flavor at 7-Eleven stores across Japan starting April 14, 2026.
