I tried 'Calpis Soda Creamy Lemon,' which tightens the creamy sweetness of Calpis and honey with the sourness of lemon.

On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Asahi Beverages released ' Calpis Soda Creamy Lemon '. It has a creamy taste with a stronger milk component than

regular Calpis Soda, and lemon is added to it, which is characterized by its pleasant texture. I was curious about what it tasted like, so I bought it and tried it.

The package for 'Calpis Soda Creamy Lemon' looks like this.

The label has pictures of honey and lemons printed on it, and it contains less than 10% juice.

The ingredients are fructose glucose liquid sugar, lemon juice, skim milk powder, lactic acid bacteria drink, honey, cream, etc.

The calorie content per 100ml is 26kcal. The content is 500ml, so the calorie content per bottle is 130kcal.

I poured the contents into a glass. It didn't look particularly yellow, and it was just like regular Calpis soda.

When I brought the glass close to my face, the creamy aroma of milk drifted out. When I drank it, I first felt the creaminess of the Calpis Soda and the sweetness of the honey, followed by the sourness of the lemon. The addition of honey to the Calpis Soda made it seem too sweet, but the sourness of the lemon juice balanced it out, resulting in a creamy yet refreshing Calpis Soda.

'Calpis Soda Creamy Lemon' will be available at retail stores nationwide from Tuesday, December 17, 2024, with a suggested retail price of 194 yen including tax. At the time of writing, it was also sold on Amazon.co.jp, and a set of 24 bottles was priced at 2,958 yen (approximately 123 yen including tax per bottle).
