More cider softdrink. These are all pretty good. The Japanese/Korean idea of cider here is like common lemonade softdrink – its a thing that doesn’t taste like apples, its fizzy, its clear. They all taste relatively the same, though. The white peach and mango ones (Tomomasu Inryo brand) were a lot better than the plain (Mitsuya, Asahi brand), nice fruity flavors.
The Kirin milk coffee was interesting, it was kind of funky, “farmy”?, surprisingly rich, it had cream as an ingredient. Nice coffee flavour.
The milk tea (also Kirin brand) was nice and sweet with a good black tea flavour.
The prawn and wasabi rice crackers were ok, real big prawn stink but not too much wasabi heat.
Melon flavoured drinks
Not so great. Not bad, but a bit much.
First melon patterned one was nice and like a Korean non-alcoholic cider. The bigger one was very melon, like rind and all in smell and taste, and a bit too much.
Squid Floss, Lemon Flavour
2 kinds of Natto
Purchased some Natto and choose two different kinds which I hadn’t seen before. I was aware fermentation was slightly different from brand to brand to some extent, but this was colour, and on opening also size.
The brand is Azuma Shokuhin.
The dark natto is just normal, I cannot find any info of it being different to plain normal natto, and thats what it looks like. Size is Small = Kotsubu.
The light coloured one is Hikiwari Natto, Crushed natto. Evident on opening.
The light coloured crushed natto is a little sharper with less depth of flavour.
The dark natto is milder but deeper flavoured, and smaller beans than i normally get. Seems a lot more slimier also.
