damian 0 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Not withstanding the fact that it is pronounced miluku, I have a problem that appears isolated to me. I find the taste of Japanese milk to be fine. It works on my cereal without a hitch. However I find that it has a mild but very evident pong. It smells pungent and egg sandwich like. If you smelt it before drinking it, you would choose not to drink it just in case it was bad. Few people I ask seem to notice this pong. Has anyone here smelt it before?

Ocean11 0 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Definitely. I used to hate milk, but miruku is fine. But one does often wonder who farted when the lip is first pulled down. Can't understand all the foreign carping about how awful Japanese milk is... Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 i never smelt it so i dont know. but i love the taste of it. However, I heard it is allmade from powder and doesnt have any calcium in it. I hope thats not true - anyone know the facts? I know there was the snowbrand scandal last year - what was that again? or was it just meat? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 I think there is something odd with the milk. When my GF arrived she became rather ill every day for weeks. We narrowed it down to milk. She cut out Japanese milk and was fine. She has since built up a tolerance and seldom fells ill after milk. To me it tastes just fine. But the smell makes it hard to drink by the carton full (something I like to do, 1 litre a day). Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I don't find the smell that bad at all - hardly noticed it actually. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 I definitely noticed the smell... It smells kinda creamier than american milk, and it's way thicker too. mmmmmm creamy milk..... mmmmm.... Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 noted the pong. agree that it still works. my number one drink - milk. used to get a pint o' milk at a pub in scotland for 50p, not much more than local shop... and drinking it made u feel tough Link to post Share on other sites

amandanism 0 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 im not a fan of drinking milk. but the milk here has so many additives. canadian milk is pretty decent. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I think that too, strange isn't it? Don't smell when you open viv Link to post Share on other sites
Lama 0 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I have always found the miruku in Hokkaido to be sooooo rich and creamy..... prob the best milk i have ever had!! especially when its super cold!! cant say i have ever noticed the stench Link to post Share on other sites
rachael 0 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I've always thought that too - it's pongy. The semi-skimmed is less so, and better for you too Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 At times there can be a smell - which I'm sure is related to the fat content. Full cream milk and the like are rare in "health" conscious Oz/States... these days, so I guess many western young'uns wouldn't know what unadulterated milk smells/tastes like. Also different pastures/feed can produce different smells/tastes. Often peoples Milk Allergies can be traced to the grasses fed to the cows. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Snobee you really reckon full cream milk is rare in Oz? Nah. All i ever drink is full cream milk. The other "skim" milk tastes like bloody water. Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 You must be old SnowBF Yeh, I guess it's still on sale, but most folks are drinking Skinny milk or some version I thought. Also the fat concentrations here are different. What is called your common daily low fat milk actually is 3.6% (my local milk anyway). I think the mere thought of that'd hardened the arteries of any self-confessed lo-fat Ozzie Milkie. I used to be a low fat milk fascist once, but now am on the side of flavour. However I try not to think too much about what other "goodies" are in the white stuff such as anti-biotics,dioxins.....?? Moo, Moo. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I'm not that old, only just turned 22. I just looked at the fat content on the milk here - 3.6% as well. And thats the "full-cream" stuff. What kind of fat content do skim milks have?? Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 full cream pushing 4%, hilo (semiskimmed) 2%, skim 0.1% Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Cheers mikazooki! Thats more of a difference than i thought it would be. No wonder skim milk is so bland compared to full cream stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
