Regulars at our sumo nights will be familiar with the unfortunately named Calpis Soda. For those not in the know, Calpis Soda is a beverage of Japanese origin. It is a calcium drink. And no matter how you try to pronounce it, it either ends up sounding like you're saying cow piss, or that you're saying cow piss with a French accent. Regardless, it is the drink equivalent to the center of a creamsicle and once you start drinking it, it's impossible to stop until it's all gone.
Not content with poorly named perfection, the Japanese decided to take Calpis soda to the next level: they added vodka.
Voila! Calpis Sour. I don't know why it's called Calpis Sour. It's not sour at all. It tastes like the center of a creamsicle with the barest hint of vodka. But just like the original, once you start drinking it, it's impossible to stop.

I already regret not being able to make this trip with you, but now the regret factor has nearly doubled.
If it's any consolation, you're here in spirit. Or someone is. At least, that's what we like to pretend when the cashier asks us about buying so many cans of Calpis Sour every morning.
