Watami Co., Ltd., which operates the Korean No.1 fried chicken brand bb.q Olive Chicken Cafe in Japan, will launch the Premium Mango Lassi on Thursday, May 14, 2026, as the second item in its bb.q Premium Drink Series. The drink is priced at 580 yen including tax. Following the first release, Premium Strawberry Lassi, the new seasonal drink features mango, known for its rich sweetness and aromatic fragrance. Chunky mango flesh is combined with smooth lassi to create a tropical flavor suited to early summer. Premium Mango Lassi is based on the brand’s annually popular mango lassi, with its formulation and balance refined for this premium series.

The drink is finished with toppings of Encore mango, known for its intense sweetness, and Pelican mango, which has mild acidity and a refreshing taste. Customers can enjoy two types of mango with different characteristics in one indulgent cup. Product details: Premium Mango Lassi, 580 yen including tax.
