Nakameguro Saeko (hereinafter Saeko) : Suddenly, do you have a favorite tomato juice?
Konzaki : I buy a box of "ideal tomatoes". But there are various types from each manufacturer, so I'm wondering what the others taste like.
Saeko : So let's compare the tomato juices we bought at supermarkets and convenience stores.
9 types are lined up
・ 7-ELEVEN Premium Tomato Juice with Plenty of Ricopin ・ Itoen Delicious Tomato Juice ・ Tomato Juice Using 14 Topvalu Ripe Tomatoes No Salt ・ Delmonte Salt-Free Tomato Juice ・ Itoen Ideal Tomato ・ Delmonte Ricopin Rich Tomato Beverage ・ Delmonte Salt Additive-free tomato juice Momotaro blend ・ Kagome tomato juice Salt-free ・ Kagome tomato juice low saltKonzaki : There are various packages when you put them side by side.
Saeko : First of all, "7-ELEVEN Premium Lycopene Plenty of Tomato Juice". The price is 170 yen (tax included at the time of purchase, the same applies below).
Konzaki : I feel thick when I pour it into a cup. Loose mouthfeel
Saeko : The refreshing flavor of tomato is stronger than the sweetness. It's good to drink
Konzaki : On the other hand, "Itoen Delicious Tomato Juice" (163 yen) is refreshing.
Saeko : Certainly fresh. This is recommended for people who are not good at dripping juice
Konzaki : Topvalu's tomato juice (158 yen) is also refreshing. Is there a habit, good or bad?
Saeko : It's smooth so you can drink plenty like water
Konzaki : "Del Monte Salt-Free Tomato Juice" (188 yen) has a rough texture. I felt that the mouthfeel was the most "tomato-like"
Saeko : I imagined a strong taste because it was an image of Del Monte-Ketchup, but it was surprisingly refreshing. When cooled, it becomes jelly-like and more delicious
Konzaki : Next is my beloved "Itoen Ideal Tomato" (253 yen). The price is a little higher than others, but it's sweet and delicious.
Saeko : There is no green odor peculiar to tomatoes, so you can feel the sweetness. You can drink it like a dessert after a meal
Konzaki: "Del Monte Rico Pinrich Tomato Beverage" (278 yen) is the highest price this time. I call myself "rich"
Saeko : I like this one the most. It's delicious because it seems that the taste of ripe tomatoes is condensed tightly!
Konzaki : It has a strong taste but no odor. You can use it for cooking
Saeko : Even in the same Del Monte, "Momotaro Blend" (203 yen) has a strong "vegetable feeling". People who like raw tomatoes will love it
Konzaki : The unique refreshing flavor goes through your nose. The aftertaste is really tomato
Saeko : The most sour taste is "Kagome tomato juice without salt" (188 yen). Freshness is perfect
Konzaki : The sweetness is moderate and the taste balance is exquisite.
Saeko : "Kagome tomato juice low salt" (88 yen) has a stronger saltiness than you can imagine. I just drank it because it didn't contain salt, so I think it feels more salty.
Konzaki : It's more like tomato sauce than juice. There is a feeling of satisfaction
Each has its own personality
Saeko : When you compare the drinks, it's quite different depending on the product. Which one did you like?Konzaki: The first time I drank "lycopene rich" left a lasting impression on me. Also, "ideal tomato" is stable
Saeko : These two have strong sweetness and umami, so even people who don't like the smell of tomatoes may find it easy to challenge.
Konzaki : On the contrary, if you want a tomato-like bluish color, I think it's "Momotaro Blend". By all means when you want to feel a solid tomato
Saeko : "Kagome Tomato Juice" and "Del Monte Salt-Free Tomato Juice" are chewy but not too heavy.
Konzaki : You can see it at various supermarkets, and it's easy to get it.
Saeko : You may have different tastes, but if you find something that interests you, please try it!
Konzaki : I hope it will be helpful for you to choose tomato juice.
