Japan loves its yogurt. Yogurt-like drinks are still delivered by bicycle daily and supermarket shelves are full of varieties. So I wasn’t entirely surprised when I came across this rather unique crossbreed, yogurt liqueur, in a small food atelier. There are quite a few mass produced yogurt based spirits, but this particular hooch was made my a small producer, hand sealed, and only available domestically.

So what’s the verdict? Imagine eggnog, mixed with yogurt, expired milk, with a hint of blue cheese. Weirdly, this wasn’t that bad. But definitely a once a year thing. Probably not going to start my day with this particular breakfast of champions.
