## Description

Review: Stop wasting money on the bottles! - I’m done paying $6–7 for a single pre-mixed bottle at the grocery store. This concentrate is a total game changer. It tastes exactly the same, takes about 10 seconds to mix with water or sparkling water, and you get so much more bang for your buck. One of the best parts is that you can control the strength. I like mine a bit more "tangy" than the bottled version. It also saves a ton of space in the fridge. If you’re a Calpico fan, buying anything else is just a waste of money. Highly recommended!
Review: The Best - This stuff is the best. It is a little hard to describe if you have never had it, but try to imagine a creamy, non-carbonated Sprite and you might get close. It is super refreshing. The price might seem steep, but this is very concentrated. Using my tumbler-style glasses, I only need to coat the bottom of a glass with Calpico and fill the rest with water. As long as you do it in that order, you don't even need to stir. Quick, easy, tasty.

## Features

- LACTIC ACID DRINK: A pioneer of lactic acid bacteria beverage since 1919, CALPICO is made from a unique fermentation process. We use a proprietary lactic acid bacteria called "Lactobacillus Helveticus” which has been passed down for over 100 years. It's the secret formula to the sweet and tangy flavor combined with a surprisingly fruity and refreshing taste.
- CALPICO ORIGINAL FLAVOR: It offers a distinctive smooth taste, perfectly balancing sweet and tangy, creamy yet refreshingly light. This combination satisfies your cravings for sweet beverages and reduces the likelihood of choosing less nutritious options. It contains no artificial colors or preservatives and is free of gluten and alcohol.
- EASY QUICK USAGE: You may add as much water or milk as you like to suit your personal taste at the time of consumption. Recommended usage is 1:4 ratio of CALPICO concentrate to either cold water or sparkling water.
- JAPANESE BRAND: Sold in Japan under the CALPIS brand, a Japanese iconic beverage brand since 1919. This refreshing drink is loved by many Japanese people since 1919.
- ADDITIVES: No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives added.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorites
*by W***L on September 25, 2022*

There was a very small Japanese restaurant near where I lived when I was little. The owners were very kind people and the food was amazing as well. They taught me from a young age how to use chopsticks and everything. But my favorite thing they would do is bring me out a cup of this delicious drink. It was delightful! I could never find it after I grew up and moved away. I didn't know what it was called. I finally found it! It's a delicious drink and I like the concentrate because I like it a bit on the strong side. It brings back fond memories as well.
