The well-known supermarket chain President Store has recently ignited heated discussions online over a milk product hailed by netizens as 'legendary'—the 'Biehai Hokkaido Milk.' One customer was fortunate enough to spot just a few bottles left on the shelf at a store location and immediately added them to their cart, sharing their joy on the fan page 'I Love President Store – Honest Recommendations.' The post quickly attracted massive public attention and responses. Many people commented that this milk is extremely difficult to purchase under normal circumstances, often finding the shelves empty whenever they visit a store, with some even suspecting that their local branch doesn’t carry it at all.
Regarding the taste of this milk, numerous buyers have given it high praise. Supporters describe it as 'refreshing with a rich milky aroma' and 'truly thick and delicious,' with some going as far as saying they 'can’t go back to other brands after trying it.' Furthermore, several netizens who had just returned from trips to Japan confirmed that the flavor of this milk is indeed 'very similar to the milk they drank in Hokkaido.' This high level of authenticity has become the core reason behind its viral popularity.
Is this milk really hard to find in every region? Some netizens offered different observations. One person mentioned that their local store actually has ample stock, often seeing a few bottles remaining on the shelf each time they visit. Others said they purchase it specifically to make yogurt or recommend the brand’s '3.7' variant. However, most consumers still report low visibility of this product on shelves, indicating that spotting it in stock often requires a bit of luck.
In addition to taste, the product’s price has also become another focal point of online discussions. Many netizens pointed out that the retail price of this milk in Taiwan is relatively high—budgeting for one bottle could almost buy two to three bottles of other brands in Taiwan. Travelers who have visited Japan revealed that the local price in Hokkaido, when converted to New Taiwan Dollars, is only about NT$40–50, whereas the price in Taiwan more than doubles, leading some to exclaim it's like 'charging Japanese yen prices in Taiwanese dollars.' In response, more rational netizens analyzed that due to import costs, international shipping, and tariffs, the price of imported goods naturally cannot match that of the origin country. Whether consumers are willing to pay the premium ultimately depends on their personal preference for taste.
