Hokkaido chocolate maker "ROYCE'". Various "chocolate products" such as raw chocolate and potato chip chocolate are on sale, but I found "drinking chocolate" among them. I was curious, so I bought it.

◆ What kind of product?

"Drinking chocolate (powder type)" is a powder made by taking advantage of the characteristics of Colombian cacao, which has moderate spiciness and wine-like fruitiness. The package is designed with the motif of a traditional bag made by the Wayuu tribe of Colombia. The price is 540 yen (tax included) for about 5 cups per bag.


In Colombia, it is customary to drink chocolate with breakfast, and it seems that chocolate is melted using a stir bar. Lloyd's "Drinking Chocolate" is a powder type, so you can enjoy it immediately by mixing it with warm milk.


As a guide when making, 4 tablespoons of powder for 150 ml of hot milk. The trick is to add milk little by little and mix each time to dissolve the powder cleanly.

◆ I drank it

Before I drank it, I imagined a sweet and luscious drink, but the taste was surprisingly sharp. Every time you eat it, a gorgeous scent and a faint acidity spread. Produces a rich flavor by melting with the richness of milk. The individuality of cacao is fully utilized, and it is wrapped in a rich scent.


You can add instant coffee to make it look like cafe mocha, or sprinkle it on vanilla ice cream to make chocolate affogato. Feel free to enjoy the authentic taste. Why don't you enjoy the "drinking" experience instead of eating chocolate once in a while?
