I'm a fan of the Yukimi Daifuku ice cream products, with the chewy mochi outer and the creamy inside. This new drink is exclusively available from Family Mart stores, and it does quite a good job of replicating the popular product in beverage format! The base flavor is vanilla, and the drink contains chewy pieces of konjac which are meant to emulate the mochi outer. You get a boba-style thick straw with this as well, which makes it easy to slurp up those konjac pieces. It is a bit pricey for a drink, but cheaper than something from somewhere like Starbucks, so overall I'd say it's alright as a once off purchase.

One downside of this product is that it's only available from Family Mart stores -- it's not being stocked at other convenience stores or supermarkets. I do wish it was a broader release, but hopefully if you want to try it then you have a Family Mart store near you. I would say this is definitely worth trying at least once if you're already a fan of the ice cream product or you just appreciate fun, quirky drink options from convenience stores. As it's a limited time release it won't be around for long, so head in to your nearest Family Mart store if it sounds like a must-try to you. Happy drinking!
