On June 17, Asahi Soft Drinks Co., Ltd. announced that it will begin selling “Calpis Cool Lychee Water” in Japan starting July 1. According to the company, this new beverage features Calpis’ unique taste derived from natural fermentation by lactic acid bacteria and yeast, offering both hydration and heatstroke prevention. The drink includes 1% lychee juice for a refreshingly sweet-and-tart flavor. The packaging retains the signature look of the “Calpis Water” series, with “Cool Lychee” prominently printed in the center and a lychee graphic surrounded by ice and water to evoke a cooling effect.
The product will be priced at 180 yen (approx. RMB 9) for a 490ml bottle. (Source: Asahi)
