One of the benefits of writing product reviews here on City-Cost is the kanji learning. Especially with food and drink products, I learn Japanese terms for ingredients and health benefits. This flat drink from Kirin Beverage is a 機能性表示食品 kinosei hyoji shokuhin, a functional food product. IMUSE GREEN contains Lactococcus lactis strain Plasma. Kirin says it's loaded with your daily nutritional requirement of Vitamins B1, B6, and C. LC-Plasma is the result of Kirin's research into immune-boosting food additives.

I'm always up for an immune-system boosting drink that goes down well. IMUSE GREEN is a reasonably-priced functional drink with a pleasant flavour. I'd get it again. There are some things to note about this product. First, it's flat, which may be easier on your system than carbonated health drinks. Second, although it is flavoured with grapefruit, lemon, and apple juice, it contains only 10% juice. The primary selling point is the functional aspect. It's hard to say whether it does what it claims.
