Calpis is Japan’s first-ever lactic acid drink and a beloved national beverage. This creation is a collaboration between Calpis and Kanbai Sake Brewery, bringing together yuzu and lactic acid in perfect harmony.

The aroma combines the sweet-tart scent of yuzu with a subtle lactic accent. On the palate, a bright yuzu tang greets you first, followed by Calpis’ signature sweet-and-sour creaminess, carrying through to the finish. The pairing is surprisingly natural, with both flavors blending seamlessly. Medium sweetness, minimal alcohol presence—delightful whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with soda.

The bottle features Calpis’ iconic polka-dot design, accented with a yellow ribbon for a retro Showa-era feel—fresh and distinctive.

For yuzu lovers, this is one you won’t want to miss.
