Milky madness

As long as it’s milk you are after, then this little shop will cater for all your needs.

But dairy product devourers beware. Moderation is the key when you are dealing with speciality milks, as one bottle too many (or wanton mixing of flavours for that matter) can cause milky madness to strike at any time.

And if you think I’m joking, take a closer look at the demonic eyes of the milk quaffing old lady in the right of the picture. A sufferer of milk mania without doubt, and a warning for us all.

freaky eyes

Spill her milk and you’ll be doing a lot more than crying that’s for sure.

    I know that there’s a pretty big difference in the tastes of milk when you go from the USA to Europe (US milk is awful in comparison), is there a Japanese difference?

    Yeah, whilst putting Japanese milk in my coffee and tea or over my cereal is fine, I never drink it by itself like I would back home in Britain.

    I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s awful, because it’s not. But at the same time it’s not all that brilliant either. And somehow it never seems to smell quite right…

    Is milk really that popular in Japan? I’d have thought that soymilk would be the creamy beverage of choice!

    I remeber that Japanese milk always smelt like it’s carton….

    Apologies for the poor typing and punctuation in the above. The thought of smelling Japanese milk has obviously paralysed my fingers.

    Yeah, I know what you mean Colin.

    I threw countless opened-but-not-yet-finished cartons away when I first got here because I thought the milk had gone off. Needless to say it came as a rather unpleasant surprise to find out that’s how it is supposed to smell…
