-196 Double Lemon is made from Shochu, Vodka, soda and lemon, and uses Suntory’s unique Freeze Crush Technology™ that freezes and crushes real fruit to capture every bit of all-natural lemon flavour. With only 0.3 grams of sugar and 110 calories per can, -196 it the perfect drink option to kick start your night out.

Limit of 5 per cart.

If you're missing Japan, this is the next best thing to Strong Zero that you can get easily in Australia and without paying an arm and a leg. Decent strength at 6% per can too.

The 10 pack is also on sale for $41 however it works out to be $4.10 per can while the 4 pack works out to be $3.75 a can.

Don't forget to combine this with 10% Cashback
* 5 x 4 pack (20 cans) = $75 - 10% cashback = $67.5 or $3.38 per can

Amex also has targeted cashback of $10 for over $100 spend if you are buying other things.

* 5 x 4 pack (20 cans) = $75 - 10% cashback - $10 Amex cashback (if you spend over $100) ≈ $57.5 or $2.86 per can

Edit:

  • 10% cashback expired on the 30th of September for Liquorland, currently only offering up to 3% through Shopback and Cashrewards

  • First Choice Liquor has the same deal as Liqourland with similar cashback (up to 3%).

  • Thanks Kooratz for also mentioning that Westpac CC can get $10 cashback for $50 spend at Liquorland till 3rd of October.

    This is good stuff but obviously less alcoholic than the real Strong Zero. Has a stronger lemon flavour that way at least. Good for cocktails or slushies too.

    Fond memories standing outside of Lawson's with Strong Zero in one hand and Onigiri in the other.

        Next to my hotel in Shibuya was a small laneway with a line of vending machines at the entrance. Every morning there would be salary men with a can of BOSS in one hand and a ciggy in the other. Then late at night you'd see the same. I swear it was the same salary men every morning and every night.

        So many memories.

          Not just gaijin that make noise. I remember being woken up while staying in Takadanobaba by Waseda Uni students chanting "wa, wa, waseda!" and passing around a 1.8 liter bottle of sake. ;)

      I was looking forward to this release, but found myself just missing Strong Zero instead. Got myself some 9% grape Strong Zero from an asian grocery and was much happier (despite the cost…)

    • philotex on 01/10/2021 - 11:09

      To be honest, when the chu hi alcohol arms race started, there was definitely a trade off of flavor for strength (and sugar reduction). I still prefer regular 6% lemon or grapefruit to a 9% anything. Unless you need to get wrecked quick.

        • philotex on 01/10/2021 - 17:30

          Absolutely. Pineapple were fantastic as well. They also make an "ice smoothie" version, basically alcoholic slushy in a pouch. Great way to survive the humidity.

    These taste really good.

    • zesty on 30/09/2021 - 23:45

      I was surprised when I saw this on Liquorland website. Ordered 2 pack 4 cans over the weekend. Not sure why 10 cans pack is $43 (4.3@), and these are $15 (3.75@).

      When I read carefully the packing, this 196 is made in Australia. NOT made in Japan.

      IMO, taste a bit salty, may be I read from the nutrition label, sodium is 176.5mg per serving. Just taste different from Japanese made.

      If you really want the Japanese taste, head to Tokyo Mart in Sydney. Get a made in Japan -196, which is $8 per can. damn expensive.

      P.S. Damn it, I got AMEX offer. When I using AMEX to pay, it kept declining. I used the new subscriber newsletter $10 off instead. Require at least $50 purchase.

        it's not uncommon for deals to not carry through the whole range. it's kind of derpy but it is what it is. in store the 4pk price ends tuesday oct 5 i believe, and is/was a 2 week run for a counter special. 10 packs are month long sale

      • Yakuza85 on 01/10/2021 - 09:43

      • G-rig on 01/10/2021 - 10:16

        Just like most other beers that are brewed under license in Aus.
        Don't know many people that would pay 2-3 times as much just because made in japan.

    Premixed drinks are way overpriced for what they offer. Even at 50% off, these are overpriced - and this one only being 25% off, I don't see this as a deal.

    You can do much better mixing your own drink/cocktail. Buy some award-winning Vodka from Aldi, get some good mixers+garnishes depending on your taste and Bob's your uncle.

    The unique Freeze Crush Technology™ is just marketing bullhype. You're better off mixing it up yourself with fresh ingredients and getting much more value for your money.

    These look better if you drink it from the can as it's easier to believe all the freeze crush bullshit.
