(Bigger version!)

Remember that banana flavored soymilk I fell so deeply in love with? Well, the same company has released what appears to be a limited time seasonal treat; yaki-imo flavored soymilk. It’s pretty good. If you try it, let me know what you think!

Here’s a clip of the yaki-imo truck and its song that I uploaded to my travelogue when I was a junior at university. Man, the years sure go by. This was 2005. Hard to believe it. (Though, the video is crappier quality, and lower in resolution…that part is easy to believe.) I dug it up here.

  • Dadebbo - I'm glad you enjoyed hearing the song again. Ha ha. I'm curious about what on earth these garbage trucks sound like, now. First time I've heard of those.

    Thanks for posting that Yaki-imo song! The first time I heard it I was in Kyoto. The song sounded so depressing that I thought it was a funeral procession. I should have known it was OK, since the trash truck played what sounded like merrygoround music.
  • Tom - why yes, it IS Guitar Hero. :-D

    Nic - if you've had yaki-imo before, you're not missing anything. It's seriously just a liquid doppelganger.

    Freedom - let me know your impressions if you decide to take the plunge. Ha ha.
  • I might give it a go...or I might not. Hell, I don`t know.

    mmm. yaki-imo.

    I hadn't given this one a go, but the banana stuff WAS damn good.

    Oh, how I've missed these videos where I watch you chew and gulp.

    Is that a Guitar Hero guitar in the background? If so, I didn't know you could get them in Japan! Oh, if only I wasn't so poor :(

  • Kathy - thanks! But nobody talks like that anymore. Ha ha. Anyway, I promise not to childishly edit any further comments. Can't get comfortable with abusing power. It might go to my head. :-)
  • Kathy
    I hate you [think you're swell].
  • Kathy - the cool thing about having my blog is that I could, if provoked, totally change what you say....but I don't do that. Usually. Ha ha ha ha.
  • Kathy
    You are a liar about finding it first. You said so your self in the video...that you were [not] lying....[un-]liar.....

    [EDIT: Deas is the coolest person in the world. Obviously.]

    Anyway, I will corroborate Deas' statement that it tastes almost exactly like yaki imo- it's crazy!
  • Jason - thanks! I like the coffee one ok (it contains malt, too, I think), but I like the banana one the best. Absolutely.

    Kathy - ha. Says you. I have a video on the internet. You've got...squat. :-P
  • Kathy
    I FOUND IT FIRST!!!
  • Nice video reporting.

    That is my favorite brand of soy milk also. I mostly use the plain for cooking, but my local Tessco has started carrying the coffee flavored one in large size so I've been drinking that as a treat that reminds me of drinking "coffee milk" as a kid (using coffee flavored syrup, which was also good on ice cream).
