"Yogurt maker" is a cooking appliance that allows you to make fermented foods such as yogurt and amazake at home. There are many types where you set the temperature and time yourself, but it is troublesome to check each one from the menu.

The "Yogurt Maker (KYM-013)" released today (December 23) by Iris Ohyama is a new model equipped with five types of automatic menu buttons such as yogurt, amazake, and salted jiuqu. In addition, it seems that "drinking yogurt", which is said to be difficult to control the temperature, can be made automatically.



The author, who feels tired from the stomach and intestines due to the cold and drinking party, immediately tried it!

What you need to prepare is commercially available packed milk (500 ml or 1000 ml, cap type is not allowed) and yogurt to drink for the starter (original seed). This time, I first tried using Meiji's "delicious milk" and "Meiji Probio Yogurt R-1". In addition, it is recommended to use commercially available drink type yogurt instead of ordinary yogurt to make it smooth as a drink.


Just add milk and yogurt to drink at a ratio of 9: 1, stir well, set and wait for 8 hours. There is no driving noise and no alarm sounds, so it may be a good idea to set the alarm individually so that you do not forget the end time.





When I drank it immediately, a slight acidity was added to the milk, and it certainly looked like yogurt ...? The overall impression is light, probably because the R-1 has a smooth texture.


It was a little different from the image, so when I made it with "Meiji Bulgaria no Mu Yogurt" , it was thick and had a strong acidity, which was quite close to that taste! It may be good to remember that the taste and hardness of the starter will not be the same as the starter due to fermentation and other conditions.


You can add sugar or fruit sauce to the finished yogurt to make it easier to drink.


A yogurt maker that is almost unfailing if you pay attention to a clean environment. In addition, I personally highly recommend amazake, so how about it for the New Year?
