Amazake

I had one of these previously, but it seems I didn’t blog it at the time. This one is pumpkin flavour. The weird sweet-umami/mushroom thing really didnt give me any pumpkin character, but it was still anice. I like that fermenty funky thing amazake has going on. The price is stupid, but thats certain drinks from Japan in general.

(Note: Both the pumpkin and matcha green tea below are Horaiya Honten brand)

I found the first one I had, It was matcha green tea flavour, and did have a green tea light taste and tannin bitterness if I remember correctly. The Morinaga Amazake can in the picture I do not remember unfortunately.

Bubble Tea in a can

I have had an Ocean Bomb brand drink before, which was also good, and this was also good too. Brown Sugar flavour it says, and thats accurate. A nice brown sugar sweet milk with that strange unnatural bubble tea element. The tapioca/”Starch Balls” according to the ingredients, were a nice but different than usual texture. Nice.

The Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou song is just amazing, will probably be my favorite song for quite a few months.
