In 1964, we offered CALPIS to thousands of athletes from 94 countries who gathered in the athlete’s village for the Tokyo Olympics. Some drank two, three or more cups, and others even filled the drink in their bottles and brought it with them to the competition venues.
The par ticipants from all over the world loved CALPIS. Our founder, Kaiun Mishima saw this and expressed that “My dream is to establish one brother company in a host country of the Olympics as it is held every 4 years.”
“From Japanese drink to worldwide beverage” - sending this Japanese-born drink, CALPIS to the world. This is the star t of the dream to operate our overseas drink business.
