The description
This product is a tub of Yakult's "Soy Milk Power Plain" yogurt. I purchased it at my local Aeon supermarket, and it was priced at 140 yen including tax.
The good
If you're looking for a dairy free yogurt option, this "Soy Milk Power Plain" option from the Yakult brand is a nice choice. As the name suggests it uses soy milk rather than dairy, and it has the nice earthy kinda flavor that I feel soy milk brings. One of the benefits that the product also touts is that it helps with reducing cholesterol thanks to the soy protein. If that's a consideration for you then you might want to keep an eye out for this -- it's a really easy swap from whatever other yogurt you might already be consuming.
The not so good
Although this is dairy free (great for those with dairy allergies!) it's not fully plant-based -- gelatin is on the allergen list, which is typically made from either pig or cow bones. I really wish they could've found something to sub out for the gelatin since it would be nice to have a fully vegan option. Overall though, I appreciate that there's a yogurt option that caters to folks with dairy allergies, and even if you don't have a dairy allergy this is a nice choice with a good flavor. The cholesterol lowering properties are just another bonus. Keep an eye out for it at your local supermarket if you are looking for something dairy free.
