The apricot behind the name

What does Arasaka taste of? The name gives nothing away, so here is the answer up front. It is apricot. Iceberg Ultra Arasaka 56mg is a sweet apricot can for snus users, from Ultra, the strongest line the brand makes by its own description. The can is easy to spot on arrival. A black lid carries ULTRA at the top, a polygon bear head, the ICEBERG wordmark and ARASAKA beneath it, with orange flames around the lower half. Start here if stone fruit is your corner of the shelf.

What it tastes like

Apricot is the whole story, and it is a sweet one. The flavour is ripe and soft, the fruit at its sweetest. It stays as apricot from the first moment to the last, which makes it one of the simpler flavours among the Iceberg cans on this shelf. Simple is the point. Side by side with the brand's gum and berry cans, Arasaka is the stone fruit of the set. If apricot jam is the jar you reach for at breakfast, you already know this flavour.

How strong it is

Every pouch holds 56mg. The shop's scale has four bands, light under 8mg, medium from 8mg, strong from 16mg and extreme from 25mg, and this can sits well into the last of them. Ultra is the top of Iceberg's ladder, and every Iceberg can stocked here comes from that line at 56mg. So the choice within the brand is one of flavour, never of strength. The pouches are white, each weighs 0.8 g, and a can holds 20. Read the number before the name.

Who it is for

Arasaka suits someone who uses snus daily, already buys from the extreme band and wants a sweet fruit flavour. If a medium or strong can is your usual, 56mg sits a long way above it, and the band is the thing to choose by. The flavour is gentle. The strength is at the far end of the scale.

Each can holds 20 white pouches, all tobacco free, made by Iceberg Tobacco, a Warsaw company. A single can is the sensible way to meet the flavour. If you only try one fruit from Iceberg and apricot is your fruit, make it this one. Add it to the basket and see how it sits with you.
