I've never drank or even seen that drink before, but the Japanese reads '乳清', which translates to Whey. So that drink appears to simply be whey mixed with natural water. Not quite as exciting as 'Water flavored water', but just for the sake of representing Japan factually and honestly, I thought I'd mention it.

Even in Canada I find that countertops can be kind of low, although I guess I am a bit taller than average. Tell me about it Nick!
