Saeko : "Drinking rice balls" sold by Yokoo Day Leafs. I was curious, so I bought it online! Estimated price is 160 yen per piece (excluding tax)

Konzaki : Is it an era when rice balls are also drinks ...

Saeko : It comes in a pouch container with a spout, and one pack contains about one rice ball's calories (280 kcal) and two or three lettuce's dietary fiber. There are two flavors, "Ume Konbu" and "Ume Bonito".


Konzaki : The pouch is the size that you can hold with one hand. Looking only at the appearance, it looks like "Weider in Jelly". The package has big deca and rice balls printed on it.

Saeko : The best-by date is one year when stored at room temperature. Doesn't it seem convenient when you're busy or as an emergency food? It seems to be easy to suck

Konzaki : Certainly. But what I'm curious about is the taste ...

■ I actually drank it

Saeko : First of all, "Ume bonito". Domestic seaweed, Kishu Nankoume, and domestic rice are used.


Konzaki : Ah, uh ... I see, it looks like this. I see

Saeko : Is the taste relatively strong? right?


Konzaki : The seasoning is solid. The moment you open it, the scent of plum bonito spreads softly. Also, the aftertaste is slightly sweet

Saeko : I wonder if it's "purupuru porridge".

Konzaki : It feels like a rice ball that saves you the trouble of chewing. You can pour it into your throat

Saeko : I felt strange at first, but once I get used to drinking it, it may be fine.

Konzaki : There is a habit, but it is certainly a “rice ball”. However, personally, it's hard to drink this one pack ...

Saeko : That's right. I can't say "I can drink it!", But I think it's an ant.

Konzaki: Is it a matter of familiarity?

Saeko : Then next is "Plum kelp". I use Hokkaido kelp, Kishu Nanko plum, and domestic rice.


Konzaki : You can feel the taste and flavor of kelp.

Saeko : I feel that this one is more addictive than plum bonito. But the taste is "rice ball". Somehow mysterious feelings ...

Konzaki : I asked other editorial staff to try it, but I got the impression that it would be nice to warm it up and that it has a strong taste, so I want to put it on white rice. After all I am surprised at the impact of the first bite, but it seems that I will get used to it after a while


Saeko : It seems to be useful in an emergency, such as when you are not feeling well and you are not chewing. Easy and convenient. It may come in handy if you put one in the emergency carry-out bag

Konzaki: I think it's a taste that you like and dislike, so it might be a good idea to try it once and then add it to the emergency food list.

Saeko : I'd be happy if you could come up with "drinking udon" or "drinking ramen" next time.

Konzaki : Udon ... I'm curious about new works in the future
