The Good: This drink is not your regular coconut juice though. It has milk in it and I am a total sucker for anything with milk. And it did not disappoint! It was yummy but the hint of coconut was strong enough for me so it was all worth it for about 160-170 yen. It was not too creamy yet the consistency made it easy for me to consume. Regular coconut juice that I have tried in the past tasted so bland and so artificial so I never really wanted to buy them in the past. This drink though is a perfect blend of milk with just the right amount of coconut. It was a perfect refreshing drink in a hot and humid Japanese summer.

The Bad: I haven’t seen it in the nearest 7/11 from my workplace a few weeks after I bought it so it probably didn’t suit the tastebuds of others, especially the locals. I am guessing it could be because it could be too sweet. As I said above, the drink's coconut flavor might have been too overbearing for coconut juice aficionados. Perhaps it was too strange of a combination as well. Although I do not prefer artificially-tasting drinks like the coconut juice on the market, I gave this product a chance because it had milk in it. If it was just a regular coconut juice, I would not have been attracted to it anyway. Th price was alright, but it could have been cheaper.
