May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the United States. With two brand new sodas added to Blue Dog’s lineup, we wanted to showcase all products that come from, or are inspired by, Asian flavors. 
Calpico
Creamy, fruity, tangy and sweet, Calpico is made with cultured milk from an original fermentation process in Japan. This process gives Calpico a slight tart flavor, similar to other yogurt drinks. With two fermentation stages, Calpico does not need to be refrigerated to store and is shelf-stable. Of course, it is better served cold for the best tasting experience. Blue Dog carries the following Calpico flavors: Lychee, Mango, Strawberry and White Peach.
NEW – Dragon Ball Z
One of our newest arrivals, Dragon Ball Z from company Ocean Bomb sports six flavors at Blue Dog Beverage: Apple, Melon, Orange, Peach, Vanilla and White Grape. The cans showcase different characters from the nostalgic and beloved anime television series Dragon Ball Z.
“Taiwan’s Ocean Bomb takes water from the deepest ocean water pipe in Asia, far below where light can reach at 710 meters below sea level, purifies and sterilizes it with cutting-edge technology, and uses it to produce their signature sparkling water. Each bottle is packed with marine native magnesium and minerals, and rigorously tested for quality.” (Source)
Ito En Teas
Traditional Japanese tea in bottles and cans, Ito En has mastered their tea making process since 1966 to earn their title of Japan’s Number 1 Green Tea Brand.

Nomsi 
It’s not a lime, it’s not an orange, it’s a calamansi! The calamansi citrus fruit from the Philippines is used in various condiments, beverages, marinades and preserves in Philippine, Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines. The calamansi is a small bushy shrub which is perfect for a backyard garden, and thrives in tropical climates. It is similar to a lime or lemon, and a hybrid between kumquat and mandarin orange.

Nomsi’s Calamansi Juice comes in 3 flavors of 16 ounce plastic bottles: Original Calamansi, Raspberry Calamansi and Mango Calamansi. Blue Dog also carries the glass 12oz bottles of the same flavors as well as pure mango juice.
Ramune
The famous Japanese Marble Soda! Ramune is known all over Japan with its distinctive codd-neck bottle. The glass marble keeps carbonation in the bottle, pressure keeping it sealed until opened. This ensures each bottle stays carbonated for months or years on the shelf until ready for consumers. People of all ages enjoy the creativity of the fun marble and opening the unique bottle
Blue Dog carries the Sangaria brand in seven flavors: Grape, Lychee, Melon, Orange, Original, Peach, Strawberry. My favorite is Strawberry!

Under the Ito En brand, Teas Tea are certified organic teas that are mild and filtered. From the bottle you will find no sediment and the tea will have a beautiful, clear hue. Blue Dog carries six flavors: Green White, Jasmine Green, Mint Green, Oolong, Pure Green and Rose teas.
UCC Coffee
Ueshima Coffee Company was founded in 1933 by Tadao Ueshima, “The Father of coffee in Japan.” Ueshima normalized coffee in Japan by opening an authentic coffee shop at the port of Kobe, creating the slogan “Civilized folk like coffee,” and making it a household beverage. UCC Coffee was also the world’s first canned coffee, released in April 1969. With the rise of artificial sweeteners, Ueshima stayed committed to using sugar and milk in his product. In 1989, the UCC Hawaii Kona Coffee Estate was opened in Hawaii. Blue Dog carries UCC Coffee in 3 flavors: Black Coffee, Original Blend with Milk, and Hawaii Kona coffee. (Source)
