At 06B Phan Boi Chau, Hai Chau, expats and locals often ask: should I drink Dalatmilk (Vietnamese highlands milk) or Meiji CP-Meiji (Japanese brand)? Both are fresh pasteurized milk with cold-chain delivery — not WinMart UHT. This guide compares them fairly so you pick what fits your taste and budget.
Two fresh milk lines — one cold-delivery hub
Dalatmilkshop.vn is the official Dalatmilk dealer (Đà Lạt Milk brand from Lam Dong). In the same building, the Meiji Milk Shop Da Nang stocks CP-Meiji pasteurized 946ml bottles — see meijidanang.com (not Meiji Co., Ltd.’s official site).
They complement each other: Dalatmilk suits value-focused families and cafes; Meiji suits anyone who knows Japanese milk, wants large bottles, or needs lactose-free options.
