This is 'Kirin iMUSE Water'.

It is appealing that bottles contain 'plasma lactic acid bacteria'.

The raw materials are only 'Lactic acid bacterium powder (plasma lactic acid bacteria)', 'flavor' and 'acidulant'. The content is 500ml. In addition, lactic acid bacteria may precipitate, so it is necessary to shake well before drinking.

Indeed, when I looked up the bottle at the light, I could see the powder sinking at the bottom.

The calories per 100ml is 0kcal. Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, sugars and salt equivalents are also 0g.

Shake well at once ...

I'll pour it into a glass.

The appearance is not transparent but cloudy white, like a sports drink. Turbidity is a sign that plasma lactic acid bacteria are contained.

When tasted in the mouth, it is tasteless and odorless except for a slight acidity. Other editorial staff who drank for trial also commented that 'If you dilute a non-sweet sports drink hundreds of times, it will look like this' 'You will feel the emptiness of removing lemon likeness from lemon water' Was. It's not like 'no taste' like water, but it's an honest impression that there is a subtle taste that can't be affirmed with confidence even when asked 'is there a taste?' .
