Previously, the En-eating editorial department carried out a project called "At the Yakult Honsha, try drinking the drink" Yakult ", which is a mixture of" Yakult "and" Toughman. "

"Yakult" is a beverage made by mixing "Yakult" and "Toughman", and is a menu that can only be drunk at the coffee shop "Brasilia" on the first floor of the Yakult Honsha. However, the editorial staff who asked the cashier for the recipe after drinking the Yakuman refused, "That's the secret." It looks like a corporate secret.

This is worrisome. Anyway, I have to solve the mystery of this taste! !! So, this time, the En-eating editorial department will carry out a project to reproduce the taste of Yakuman by themselves. If you read this, you can easily drink your favorite Yakuman at home! ...... Maybe.

■ Buy Yakuman's ingredients!

The first step in making Yakuman is to buy Yakuman ingredients. Let's buy Yakult and Toughman at supermarkets! There are similar products in Yakult, but they have a slightly light taste, so they cannot be Yakult. Also, be careful not to mistake it for a tough man and buy another energy drink. The writer was about to make "Yakubitan" instead of "Yakuman".

■ Mix "Yakult" and "Toughman"

By the way, Yakuman making has already reached its climax here. Mix these two ingredients. First, pour Yakult into a glass.

◆ Try mixing 2 to 1

Now, let's mix Yakult and Toughman in a 2: 1 ratio. The author thinks that this combination is the correct answer. The taste of tough man is quite strong with that of ginseng. To suppress it, the amount of Yakult should be twice that of Toughman.

Pour 40 ml of Toughman into 1 bottle (80 ml) of Yakult

When I drank the first self-made "Yakuman", ... that?

The taste of Yakult is better than expected. The taste of tough man is hidden in the shadow of Yakult, and overall it is only a little sweet Yakult. This is not a "Yakuman"!

◆ Try mixing one-on-one

This time, mix 80 ml of both Yakult and Toughman at a ratio of 1: 1.

This is pretty close, isn't it? No, but I still feel that Yakult is strong.

◆ Try mixing one by one

Finally, try the easiest method you expected to be. Mix one Yakult and one Toughman. The amount of Yakult is 80 ml and that of Toughman is 110 ml.

When I drank it, uh! !! This taste! At this ratio, I'm pretty sure.

Compare it with the real "Yakuman" photo. It's a little lighter because it contains ice, but the color is exactly the same.

I thought this wasn't the only thing. Because anyone can do this, right? You don't have to hide this recipe, right?

…… But when I think about it, I feel that this is the only possibility.

For example, let's say Yakult is made with a Yakult and 40 ml of Toughman. What about the remaining tough man? Until the next order? That's not possible.

■ 1 Yakult + 1 Toughman

So, it was concluded that Yakuman is "made of 1 Yakult + 1 tough man (according to the En-Eating Editorial Department)". If you have any objections to this recipe, please feel free to send us your opinions on Twitter. Also, I would like to thank the Yakult Honsha for secretly telling me the recipe (I'm going to drink Yakuman every week!).

What we found in this experiment is that the taste of Yakult is actually quite strong. Definitely stronger than Toughman. I hope Yakult Swallows will show such strength in the interleague game.

By the way, let's meet next time with "Is" Toughman Milk "divided by milk and" Toughman Seki "divided by eggs good?"
