It sounds like a neat and potentially delicious adventure. Because Japanese people love their dairy products, but aren't necessarily tolerant of all the lactose, there's a product here called yakult that people drink. It's a little tasty, but mainly it's so people can process the dairy better. Maybe there's a similar product in UB. It could be worth looking into. Especially since I've tried Mongolian butter tea so I know you're in for deliciousness.
