If you appreciate both seasonal flavors and domestically-grown produce, this new melon yogurt drink from Family Mart is worth keeping your eyes peeled for. It uses Kumamoto-sourced melon, and it has a light, fresh flavor to it -- I think it's perfect for the summer months. Price-wise I think it's pretty on-par with most of the other yogurt drinks from other convenience stores, so I don't really have any issues there. It's decently filling, too, working well as an on-the-go snack to tie you over between meals.

Since this is only a limited time product, if you find yourself really liking it then you only have a short window of time to get your hands on it. Keep that in mind if it sounds like a must-try to you, and head in to your local Family Mart store sooner rather than later! Just from a personal preference POV, there are other fruits that I feel work better than melon in these yogurt drinks, but that's very much my own taste buds talking, and not really an objective critique of the product. Give it a try if you like melon flavored things at this time of year!
