The description

A boxed drink from Yakult. This drink is essentially strawberry milk in a box, though there seems to be a hint of the Yakult yogurt in it that differentiates it just enough from a regular box of milk.


The good

First off, the price point is great, sitting at 120 yen a carton. It’s a boxed drink, so the packaging is lightweight and there is a straw attached to the carton for drinking. As mentioned in the description, there is a bit of a sourness to this drink that makes it a bit different from the usual strawberry-flavoured dairy products. It is still mostly sweet so that sourness might not be obvious for some people as the strawberry is still the main event here. It’s a nice refreshing drink on a hot day, so long as the vending machine isn’t broken.


The not so good

If you miss the sourness, you might be incredibly underwhelmed by this drink and pass it off as a regular strawberry milk. It’s also a carton drink so there will naturally be leftover drink stuck in the corners even if you try to vacuum out the remaining liquids. Personally, I have no idea how to dispose of cartons either, so if you’re conscious about that it might give you pause from buying this drink. Lastly, it is a dairy product so if you’re lactose intolerant you might want to consider if you like strawberry milk enough to risk a stomachache.
