Fro-yo girl here. Woodberrys, the beloved Tokyo froyo shop that specializes in seasonal fruits and made to order froyo, recently started offering hot yogurt. I saw the announcement and immediately wondered, what is hot yogurt? I had to find out.
Hot yogurt was born on September 30, 2013, the launch date of Yakult’s bottled hot yogurt drink called Hot Miruju. Hot Mijuru contains calcium and probiotics (live bacteria). Interestingly, I can’t find recent information about it, so either it was discontinued or the name was changed. There’s very little information online about hot yogurt. Hot yogurt seems to be popular only in Japan and it’s popular for health reasons.
I found a simple recipe for hot yogurt on Slism. According to Slism, “Where hot yogurt differs from cold yogurt is the wonder it does for your digestive system. Cold yogurt cools down your body affecting the inner working of your digestive system such that your body has a hard time absorbing essential nutrients such as calcium. On the other hand, hot yogurt has the effect of increase nutrient absorption of calcium in your body that in effect impedes parathormone hormones from being release by your body making you gain pounds weight in fat.”
Japanese convenience store, MINI STOP, just introduced two new hot chocolate drinks made with soft serve ice cream base, Belgian Chocolate and Hot Milk Soft Cream. They sound delicious and they’re available 24 hours a day.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
