Super Happy Asian Drink Hour - Skal Water!


*Wise Guise and I assembled a panel of friends, all possessing varied amounts of experience with foreign drinks, and had them try seven wacky/tasty/exotic drinks from Japan! We cleansed our palates with Japanese salty snacks in-between drinks.*

The mighty SKAL Water is a "Milk based soft drink. Tender to your mouth. Nicer to your mind. Skal Water always takes you to the cow-mooing meadow." (Actual quote from the front of the bottle.)

Skal Water is a major competitor with Calpis water in Japan.

Joe (limited experience): "It's not bad. It's like a sweet lime. A sherbet-lime. Not bad, but I like the first one (Calpis Water) better."

Wise_Guise (moderate experience): "Smells a little more lemony than Calpis does."

Danithius (advanced experience): "It's more like a Sprite flavor."

Adam (moderate experience): "A lot more citrus-y, little more soda-y"

Crystal (limited experience): "It's like flat Sprite, like what you drink when you get sick."

Consensus: Not so much a cow-mooing meadow, more like a flat, slightly creamy Sprite.
