Happimomi" is a cup that allows you to easily make frozen desserts just by adding your favorite juice and "squeezing" it. Although the product was released this year, it is already being pushed at various stores, and this writer, who is always on the lookout for new things, immediately went to the Angers web shop to pick one up. The price at the store is 1,480 yen (tax not included).


Hapimomi consists of a silicone outer cup, an inner cup that looks like an ice bucket, a lid, a spoon with a straw, and other parts.


There are three steps to making it. First, chill the Hapimomi itself in the freezer for 6 hours. At the same time, chill the juice in the refrigerator.


Then, fill the cup with the juice of your choice. In this case, we chose a mango juice, which we are sure will be the best.


Then, put the lid on the cup and "fir" it from the top for at least one minute (leave the top cap open).


After a few minutes of firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer firmer...!


When you take a sip with the long spoon provided, it feels smooth and smooth, just like a frozen drink sold in a café! It is a perfect dessert for a hot day. It's a perfect dessert on a hot day. If you just freeze juice, it becomes stiff, and if you try to make a sorbet from scratch, you have to stir it several times over several hours.


I tried freezing other drinks like this

and was instantly captivated by Hapimomi. I tried many other drinks after that, and here are some of them that tasted better than drinking it as it is.


The new sensation of shwash shwash and crunchy! Carbonated drinks

When you make a Hapimomi with a carbonated drink, the frozen part and the unfrozen part mix together to create a stimulating and addictive taste. Energy drinks in particular are a flavor that is not often found in ice cream, and I found myself making it over and over again.


It is refreshing on a hot day! After playing or exercising in , you can cool off and rehydrate yourself at the same time by making a sports drink. The refreshing lychee flavor of "Salty Lychee from the World Kitchen" is especially suitable for Happimomi! It is lighter in flavor than fruit juices, but can be enjoyed as a refreshing shaved ice.


...alcohol such as sours and cocktails

This is for adults, but we also recommend cocktails, sours, and other sweet drinks. The finished product is a little loose, but it is thick as it is and makes a keen and cold frozen drink. However, please be careful that children do not drink it by mistake as it is only an alcoholic beverage!


◆Be careful with freezing preparation and care

The important thing to remember about Hapimomi is that it takes a long time to freeze, so don't forget to prepare it. If you accidentally forget to freeze it, it is faster to run to a convenience store to buy ice cream. The inner cup is a little difficult to wash because of its folds, but you should wash it thoroughly and keep it clean at all times.

Why is it frozen?

By the way, why is it possible to make frozen drinks with this cup in the first place? At first, I was excited and wondered why. I was excited at first, but then, like a working person (?), I started to think seriously about the mechanism. But, like a working person, I seriously tried to figure out the mechanism.

According to the product information, the liquid inside the inner cup is "salt water. Therefore, it does not harden even when frozen due to the freezing point depression, and remains soft to the point of "squirming". The brine itself is below the freezing point, so when a drink is added, the brine rapidly cools and begins to freeze, and when it is squeezed, it crumbles to a "crunchy" texture.




T he manufacturer, DOSHISHA, also sells replacement inner cups (300 yen), so you don't have to worry about disposable cups!
