'Calpis Soda Chilled Pineapple' tasting review, where the sourness of pineapple melts into the smooth texture of Calpis

On June 25, 2024, Asahi Beverages released ' Calpis Soda Chilled Pineapple .' It uses pineapple juice from Okinawa Prefecture and has a gentle sweet and sour taste, so I tried drinking it to see what it tastes like.

When poured into a glass, it had a color that was a mix of the characteristic whiteness of Calpis and the yellow of pineapple.

When I drank it, I could taste the pineapple's sourness, which was mellowed by the skim milk powder. The pineapple mixed with the sweetness of Calpis gave it a refreshing aroma and a moist, smooth taste. It was a light, carbonated drink, but it was easy to drink.
