Growing up, we witnessed how things take turns in changing and how it affects our taste and standards. We went from milk kiddies to adults obsessed with coffees and our regular sodas to alcoholic drinks. But if there is one drink that completed our childhood and has been continuously taking over our older years, it is the iconic probiotic drink which on its rise was even labeled “the cult of Yakult”.

There are countless reasons why the world seems to go crazy for Yakult, a yogurt drink first invented in Japan in 1930. Remember the “Yakult ladies” selling Yakults while wearing their infamous bucket hats and dressed in distinctive red, blue, and white costumes? They’ve been part of the exciting Yakult memories of our childhood and although it wasn’t long ago when these ‘aunties’ stopped delivering Yakults to our houses, the Yakult drink remains even after generations. Thanks to this iconic probiotic drink, we got to taste something extraordinary and improve our digestion.

Today, as many people have incorporated our fave childhood drink as part of their daily diets, and reimagined it as a flavor to the most common soju Yakult, here are suggestions for enjoying other Yakult recipes you can try out.
