Of course finding what you like is a matter of buy and try, but there are a few words that will help you on your way if you’re looking for certain qualities in your milk. For starters, the Japanese word for milk is gyuunyuu (\u725b\u4e73)<\/strong>. \u00a0You might often\u00a0see something called “Miruku” (\u30df\u30eb\u30af)<\/strong>, but this\u00a0may or may not be real milk. \u00a0If something is 100% real milk, it will always<\/strong> be labelled \u725b\u4e73, and anything else is most likely labelled with \u4e73\u88fd\u54c1 (milk product)<\/strong> or \u4e73\u98f2\u6599 (milk-drink).<\/strong><\/p>\n Next, you will want to look at fat content. A regular Japanese brand of milk is about 3.6% fat, so you will see this number somewhere on the carton (if only in the details section on the back). A really creamy version might be for example 4.4%, and then a low fat version might be something like 1.8%. Low fat milk is most often labelled like this: \u4f4e\u8102\u80aa\u725b\u4e73 <\/strong>(teishibou gyuunyuu). You can also find milk fortified with extra calcium (\u30ab\u30eb\u30b7\u30a6\u30e0) and iron (\u9244).<\/p>\n Here are\u00a0some key words to help you find what you are looking for!<\/p>\n Almond Milk\u00a0\u30a2\u30fc\u30e2\u30f3\u30c9\u30df\u30eb\u30af (<\/span><\/strong>\u0100mondomiruku)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Image by Toby Oxborrow from Kowloon, Hong Kong (TV in the aisles) [CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a>], via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Of course finding what you like is a matter of buy and try, but there are a few words that will help you on yo […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[94,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-and-dining","category-health-and-beauty"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\tMilk<\/h2>\n
