There are quite a few types of tomato juice, so it can be confusing to choose which one to pick. Maybe because more people are becoming health-conscious lately, there are many brands like Kagome, Del Monte, Ito En, and others. I've also heard that lycopene is good for your health.



Based on trying some of the best-selling products, the key is balancing drinkability and lycopene content. Del Monte's "Lycopene Rich" is rich and thick, containing 44.5mg of lycopene per 200mL serving, and even people who don't usually drink tomato juice say it's "not grassy." It also contains no added sugar or salt, making it suitable for health-conscious consumers.

Ito En's "Ideal Tomato" comes with a convenient straw for portability, and the balance of sweetness and acidity is excellent. It also has a generous 25mg of lycopene, which might be good for those who want to consume it daily. However, it has a thicker texture, so preferences may vary.

If you want to drink it every day, Gold Pack's tomato juice offers the best cost performance. It comes in a large 1L bottle at a low price, with a smooth taste that's easy to continue drinking. It contains 16.8mg of lycopene, which is relatively rich, making it a good beginner-friendly choice.

Kagome's "Rich Lycopene" is perfect for tomato lovers. It has a rich flavor like ripe tomatoes, with an extremely high lycopene content of 46.8mg. Since it contains no salt, it's ideal for health-conscious people.

It's also worth trying Ikeichi Saikaen's "Everyday Full Tomato White" and "Everyday Full Tomato Red." Both are rich in lycopene, especially the Red, which lets you enjoy the natural tomato flavor. The White has a fruit-like sweetness, making it easy to drink even if you're not a fan of tomatoes.

Suntory's "Refreshing Tomato" has a milder grassy flavor, making it suitable for those who dislike the typical tomato taste. It also contains 19.3mg of lycopene, so it's a good choice for those seeking both health benefits and drinkability.

Kagome's "Premium Red" and "Low Salt High Lycopene Tomato" are also highly rated. The Premium Red contains 37.8mg of lycopene and is suitable for beginners. The low-salt version is a functional food that may help improve blood cholesterol levels.

Ultimately, the right choice depends on whether you prefer a rich, thick juice or a refreshing one, and whether you prioritize lycopene content or ease of drinking. Choose the tomato juice that best fits your taste and health goals.
