Bikkle (ビックル) is a Japanese yogurt-based drink.[1] Produced by Japanese drink giant Suntory[2], it can be found in vending machines for 100-120 yen and also at convenience stores and supermarkets. It comes in a small glass bottle, although since 2007, "Big Bikkle" is also available in a larger 500ml plastic bottle.
Bikkle is a popular drink among both the Japanese and expatriates living in Japan, with whom it has gained somewhat of a cult status due to the interesting-sounding name and unique taste. Many have described the taste of Bikkle to be similar to that of Yakult,[3] or even oranges and cream.[citation needed]
