Quick day trip up to Winnipeg (from Grand Forks, ND) to scope out the chocolate milk scene, hoping to repatriate the spoils..

A few last-minute chocolate milk finds that needed to be sampled just prior to leaving for the airport. This concludes the 24-day visit to Japan, and a 5-month stint in Asia.

A showdown between the best two chocolate milks in Japan-- 7-Eleven Cocoa Milk and Moriyama Ice Chocolat Au Lait. Both are phenomenal, but there can only be one perfect ten. Which will it be?
 

Another big city with small expectations for finding new chocolate milk. Osaka delivered on those expectations, adding only 3 new entries to the list.

A week in Kyoto, and only 2 new chocolate milks that I hadn't seen previously in Japan. That's a lot of searching to yield an average of only 0.29 per day. It's a lovely city, but hopefully Osaka will be more fruitful from a chocolate milk standpoint.

It only makes sense that the world's largest city would have the most chocolate milk, right? Yeah, not really. But Tokyo did have some new kinds that I hadn't seen previously in Japan, including one that I had to force myself to try.

A generic, vending machine chocolate milk and one other supermarket curiosity round out the final night in Sapporo.

Another pre-tasting review in Sapporo, but little did I know, all 5 products would be excellent-- including two of the best chocolate milks that I've ever tried!

After 4 days in Sapporo, I was finally ready to sample some of the chocolate milk that I had collected throughout the city.
