Re: Calpis anyone???????
Speaking of calpis, I'm actually drinking a glass of it right now. The stuff that comes pre-mixed from vending machines is yummy, but I prefer the mix-your-own kind from the supermarket because it comes in all kinds of weird fruit flavors.
I'm currently drinking white-grape flavor, but red grape, pineapple and orange are very yummy too. Stay away from banana, though; that stuff is an abomination. (Mango's a little gross too.)

But that might just because it's sold in almost every vending machine in Japan.

Ditto.
I *love* that stuff.
If I were a millionaire, I'd have a Pocari Sweat vending machine installed in my house.

Re: Calpis anyone???????
Pocari Sweat is good, but my favorite was 海のSupli. Unfortunately it was one of those limited-time only flavors.

Re: Calpis anyone???????
I don't much like Pocari Sweat either.
My absolute favorite Japanese drink that I wish I could get here is Coke's Soukenbicha. Next time I go to Japan, the first thing I'm doing is buying a bottle of that from the airport vending machine.
