The popular tapioca milk tea. Many similar things have come to be seen at convenience stores.
However, as a result of trying several things, my personal impression is that the texture of tapioca is best freshly made at a specialty store.
Then, once away from tapioca ..., yes, Nata de coco. This time, I got "Coconut Milk Drink Titty (with nata de coco)" at Natural Lawson. The country of origin is Thailand and the price is 302 yen (tax included).
A drink made by combining coconut juice and coconut milk with black tea extract and adding nata de coco. Is it like milk tea? I think it's quite different.
The flavor of coconut and the aroma of black tea are combined, and the impression of taking a sip is very sweet and rich. However, compared to milk tea, which uses a lot of milk and sugar, it is lighter and has a cleaner aftertaste. A pure and mysterious sweetness that suddenly leaves.
Nata de coco is plump and crunchy. It flows in with each bite, and it is a perfect score to drink. It goes well with richly sweet drinks. This balance may be similar to tapioca milk tea.
It's hard to see when you pour it into a cup, but it contains a lot
Due to the trend of tapioca milk tea, Asian-style drinks are increasing in the market. It's fun to try various things if you feel refreshed!
