How do you open this?

I bought this juice carton but I've never seen this type of opening in my life. I'm stumped. Edit: omg I didn't even notice the "lift" sign, thanks everyone! I did it!

Push the front part in with your thumb as you pull the narrower part up with your fingers.
- Correct! If you look real close at the photo, it even says "lift" on the left-hand side.
- Exactly, lift what’s left in the picture and pull towards you. It will push a hole through the carton with the right part which you can push down to support the plastic a bit. ~~Note these cartons cannot be closed again.~~ EDIT: they can at least partly, see below
  
  You simply push the left-hand side down again to close, works absolutely fine 👍
  
  It's designed to be closed again. What do you mean?

It's full of juice. What do you do with things that are full of juice? Easy! Take a big ole bite.
- Or is it beef broth? In which case, I do not recommend biting a cow.
  
  I do recommend cow biting; remind them of who's at the top of this food chain.

You pull up on the orange bit with the hole on it. It'll take some force since the opposite end will perforate the packaging as you do so.

This is giving me flashbacks. These used to be very common here in Germany for ice tea. But they sucked so much, we usually lifted up the edges and cut them off.

Is it from Japan? They love weird packaging. Anyway the box looks simple enough, just stab it with an awl punch. A screwdriver would probably work fine too, or probably just a sharp knife.

It's basically a pull-tab, like the one on a can, but with a hinge. You open it the same way, but without the actual pulling.
It's hard to see, but the smaller part says "Lift", so you can probably just pull up all the way, and it'll open.
