Lychee Mogu Mogu

Mogu Mogu Lychee

Origin: Thailand/Philippines/Japan
Type: Drink
Description: Fruit Juice with Pulp


If you've followed this blog thus so far, you'll know that I'm a HUGE fan of anything that's Lychee flavored. Here we have Mogu Mogu, Lychee Flavor. It's a fruit juice with coconut bits floating around in it. I thought at first that it was lychee bits because somehow they made the fruit taste just like lychee, even the texture was the same! It's got the light flowery taste of lychee with just the right amount of sweetness. It's a refreshing treat that I would recommend to anyone.

Lychee Calpico, Ramune, and Soho

japanese beverage

Lychee Drinks!

Origin: Japan
Type: Drink
Description: Non-carbonated lychee beverage


Calpico is a popular drink in Japan. It's a non-carbonated beverage that tastes like tangy yogurt. While Calpico by itself is already quite delicious, I was very excited when I found that there was a lychee flavor. Lychee is a small fruit that has a hard shell. The inside has the consistency of a grape with a big pit in the middle. The flavor is very unique, almost flowery. It's hard to describe unless you've tried it. Lychee is by far one of my favorite flavors ever so I would describe drinking this as heaven in a bottle. Yes, one of the best drinks I've ever had.

A while back I had the pleasure of trying both Lychee Soho and Lychee Ramune Soda. The Ramune soda was a little disappointing. The lychee flavor was weak and the soda was a little too acidic for my liking. The Lychee Soho on the other hand was delicious! Mixed with some club soda, it made a really refreshing beverage. I would recommend the Soho, but not so much the lychee ramune.
