果汁 is the formal/technical term for fruit juice, commonly seen on product labels and packaging rather than in casual conversation.
WORD FORMATION:
果 (fruit) + 汁 (juice, liquid).
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 果汁100%: 100% fruit juice (common label)
- 果汁入り: containing fruit juice
- 搾りたての果汁: freshly squeezed juice
- 果汁飲料: fruit juice beverage
USAGE:
In Japan, beverage labels must state the 果汁 percentage. Products with less than 100% are labeled as 果汁○○% or 果汁入り.
CONTRAST:
- 果汁: fruit juice (formal, label term)
- ジュース: juice (casual everyday word; in Japanese, can also mean any sweet drink, not just fruit juice)
- 果実: fruit (the whole fruit, not the juice)
