UHA Mikakuto Puchao Yogurt Drink & Peach Gummy n’ Soft Candy Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt-flavored candy while shopping at Tokyo Central in Gardena. UHA Mikakuto Puchao Yogurt Drink & Peach Gummy n’ Soft candy is made in Japan. A 3.53 oz pouch contains two flavors of individually wrapped candies and was $2.59, regular price. The square candies are about the size of Starburst but firmer.

Yogurt drink candies: They’re quite tangy and sweet, and they taste like Yakult. The texture is very firm but softens while chewing. They also contain softer flavor balls.

Peach candies: These were also tangy and sweet but not as tangy as the yogurt drink flavor.

These are flavorful, tangy, chewy candies. They’re both pretty good.

Yoghurppe Japanese Yogurt Drink Review

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Yoghurppe yogurt drinks at Tokyo Central in Torrance, CA. The drinks were $1.28 each. One small carton is 200 ML and comes in a Tetra Pak with a wrapped plastic mini straw. The drinks are produced in Japan by Minami Nihon Rakuno.

Yoghurppe is “made from raw milk from dairy cows reared at the base of the Kirishima mountain range in Southern Kyushu. After being acquired, the milk undergoes mild lactic acid fermentation using bifidobacterium, acidophilus, and streptococcus thermophilus. This results in a smooth, mild-flavored drink without the sourness of yogurt.” It’s a beverage that’s recommended for children because of the calcium and protein content. It’s made with lactic acid bacteria from Europe.

Original Yoghurppe: I was hoping it would taste like yogurt but it tasted more like Yakult. And it’s very sweet but with little tang. It’s a thin consistency similar to milk. They added sugar and high fructose corn syrup. One serving is 120 calories, 0g fat, 27g total sugars and 2g protein. That's a lot of sugar for a small carton.

Apple Yoghurppe: The apple flavor masked that awful Yakult flavor, so I liked it better but it was still very sweet and didn’t have real yogurt flavor.

Hmm, I like the sourness of yogurt…it’s sad when the sourness is removed or masked.

2.5 out of 5 stars.

Tadashizen Nomu Yogurto Japanese Yogurt Drink Review

Fro-yo girl here. It’s been a year since my trip to Japan and one of my fond memories of the trip was the delicious tiny Japanese yogurt drink I found at the rest stop. I found something similar at Mitsuwa in San Gabriel, CA. Tiny Japanese yogurt drinks! These were called Tadashizen Nomu and they were imported from Japan, flash frozen to extend shelf life. 

One bottle was 150 ml, 90 calories, 4g fat, 10g sugars. There was one flavor, plain, and the plastic bottle looked like an old-fashioned milk pail. One bottle was $2.59.

Tadashizen Nomu yogurt drink: It’s a thinner yogurt drink, but thicker than milk. I really like the tang – it tastes like real yogurt and it’s even sour, but not overwhelmingly so. It doesn’t taste like Yakult (yay!)

Mitsuwa also had yogurt and cheesecake from the same Japanese farm.

Ingredients: Milk, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, isomaltooligosaccharides, milk product, lactic acid

Shingomura Nomu Yogurt Drink Review

Fro-yo girl here. I recently spotted an imported Japanese yogurt drink while shopping at Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa, CA. They only had one flavor, plain. It was frozen and sold in little plastic bottles. One bottle was $2.99, 150ml, with 90 calories and 4g of fat.

I defrosted the drink and tried it. It was a lot better than Yakult. It didn’t that Yakult flavor at all but it tasted more like lightly sweetened plain yogurt. It was sweet, thick and a little tangy. The flavor was more mild than the other yogurt drinks I’ve had.

The bottle didn’t say anything about live and active cultures.

Ingredients: milk, oligosaccharide, milk product
