Yakuman" was introduced on NTV's information program "Shuichi", which is available at "Brasilia", a coffee shop on the first floor of Yakult's headquarters.

Yakuman" is a beverage made by mixing "Yakult" and "Toughman. It is a menu item that can only be found at this restaurant.

So, I went to drink it right away.

This is the cafe Brasilia, where you can drink Yakuman.

I thought it would be in a more prominent location since it was introduced on TV, but as you can see, it is surprisingly located in a slightly secluded area. But as you can see, it is located in the back of the building, so be careful not to walk past it.

The landmark is this. It is a Yakult vending machine with the mascot character of the Yakult Swallows.

Note that there is also a discount store in the neighborhood with a similar mascot character, so be careful not to mistake it for a Yakult vending machine.

Very similar mascot character. This is another fun place to eat, but you can't drink "Yakuman".

I'll order. This is the much-talked-about "Yakuman.

There it is! Yakuman!
There it is! Yakuman!

I tried it!!!

It tastes like a mix of Yakult and Toughman. ......... And that's just as it is. Sorry.

Let's change things up and try drinking it with the assumption that "This is Yakult! I'm going to change the flavor and try it.

This is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Ya、、、、"
This is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Yakult, this is Ya、、、、"

The taste of ginseng and other ingredients mixed in with Yakult makes me feel that it is a little different from the original. I might not want my children to drink it.

So, let's try drinking it with the thought, "This is Toughman! I'll drink it with the thought, "This is Toughman!

This is "tough man". Come on, let's drink!
This is "tough man". Come on, let's drink!

And what do you think? It's good!

Toughman is a drink with a bit of a habit. But Yakult neutralizes it and makes it easy to drink.

I want to be energized with Toughman! But if you don't like the taste, Yakuman may be the best solution for you. I had a cold that day, but I felt a little bit better.

The price was 500 yen.

Now, when I asked for the recipe of Yakuman while paying, I was told smugly, "That's the only secret. I apologize," he said smiling.

I'm curious 。。。。 Very, very curious 。。。。

So, in the near future, the sequel "I made 'Yakuman' by myself! I will publish it soon.

If you were careless enough to make your own "Oronamin Sake" as a child, based on a TV commercial, stay tuned!

One of the ingredients in "Yakuman," "Tough Man."

It is my imagination, but I think the creator of Yakuman must have liked Mahjong. They say "Yakult" + "Toughman" = "Yakuman," but in that case, "Tafuto" would have been fine. But then they could have just as easily used "tafruto.
