(finally I can drink gallons of this stuff without foregoing my meals!!)<br /><br />So i've tried 2 flavours so far - lemon and ume. I liked the ume one, cos the lemon one just tasted like lemon yoghurt gone wrong. But now I would really like to try this grape one....Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718133769711098895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-80664942131362474152009-10-25T04:55:25.734-07:002009-10-25T04:55:25.734-07:00Hi, Cathy, and thanks for reading and commenting. ...Hi, Cathy, and thanks for reading and commenting. I'm pretty sure this is vegetarian safe, though it's almost certainly not vegan-friendly since milk is a part of it.<br /><br />I should try regular Calpis some day. It's hard to actually get around to everything though. ;-)Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-79136016796680965972009-10-25T03:30:28.166-07:002009-10-25T03:30:28.166-07:00I LOVE this stuff, I don't care what it's ...I LOVE this stuff, I don't care what it's made out of :D. Last time I was in Japan there weren't a whole lot of zero cal things to drink. Especially when trying to be caffeine free. I'm hoping this is caffeine free and vegetarian. Please don't tell me if this isn't the case. Well, the vegetarian part I would want to know.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217600093620749040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-41449898929258425492009-10-08T09:06:09.180-07:002009-10-08T09:06:09.180-07:00I use SweetLeaf Sweetener(stevia).

Drinking sugar really bothers me (and I only eat it in small portions) because of the way it washes over your teeth. Also, frankly, I just feel like the calories are less worthwhile when drunk as opposed to being eaten.<br /><br />April Marie: I am also surprised that there is a much Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-21430559871519959022009-10-08T02:43:40.787-07:002009-10-08T02:43:40.787-07:00I remember when I first came to Japan 9 years ago,...I remember when I first came to Japan 9 years ago, they barely had diet coke... now everything is o....
