Tasting review of 'Calpis SWEET PREMIUM Hokkaido Fresh Cream Pudding Style' supervised by 'Milk', a specialty store for creamy Calpis

Asahi Soft Drinks has released ' Calpis SWEET PREMIUM Hokkaido Fresh Cream Pudding Style ' for a limited time on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. It is said that the flavor is based on the 'Fresh Cream Pudding' menu of Japan's first fresh cream specialty store '

Milk ', and is combined with a rich Calpis flavor, so I actually bought it and tried it.

The package of 'Calpis SWEET PREMIUM Hokkaido Fresh Cream Pudding Style' looks like this, with a large fresh cream pudding in the center.

It was supervised by Milk, and the logo was on the bottom of the package.

The ingredients are sugar, skim milk powder, lactobacillus drink, cream, salt, etc. The flavoring added is 'derived from eggs.' The content is 470ml.

The calories are 64kcal per 100ml, so one 470ml bottle contains about 300kcal.

I poured the contents into a clear glass. Since it's a strong Calpis, I imagined it would be a thick liquid, but it was actually a light white liquid, and looked almost the same as regular Calpis.

First, when you smell it, you can detect a sweet aroma like custard cream. When you drink it, you can tell that it is based on a strong Calpis, so it is sweeter than regular Calpis Water. At the same time, you can clearly taste the sourness that is unique to Calpis. Then, as the sweetness disappears, a flavor reminiscent of fresh cream and a sweet aroma like custard linger slightly in your mouth, which gives it a different impression from regular Calpis.

'Calpis SWEET PREMIUM Hokkaido Fresh Cream Pudding Style' will be available at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide from Tuesday, May 13, 2025. The suggested retail price is 190 yen excluding tax, and at the time of writing, a set of 24 bottles could be ordered for 4,543 yen including tax on Amazon.co.jp. It is a limited time offer, so if you are interested, it is a good idea to check it out early.
