Our founder, Kaiun Mishima encountered cultured milk in Inner Mongolia and fell under the spell of its positive effects on health.
We expected that “CALPIS Cultured Milk”, of which CALPIS is made, may consist a feature that can contribute to maintain health, and we star ted a research to investigate its physiological effect in 1970’s.
Our researchers then found out the amazing power of lactobacilli and cultured milk.
We want to suppor t everyone’s dream “to stay healthy, be oneself, and enjoy an active life no matter how old one gets”, by the power of nature such as microorganisms.
