Is this new? Has anyone tried it? I was stunned to see this in the vending machine, and then read the katakana to understand that this Morinaga-brand drink is a “hotto caaki miruku seiki” (in other words, a hotcake milk shake). Please let me know if you’ve tried it! Can you taste the butter and faux maple syrup, or is it all pancake?!

OMG I’ve got to try it. It can’t be as nasty as the hot cake pan I had!
It just tastes of custard, very vanilla-y and EXTREMELY sweet.
People in Japan are so willing to try the latest food gimmick. I am afraid that I’ll feel sick.
My coworker Sahashi eats it every DAY for breakfast.
It looks disgusting and smells disgusting.
Wow! That’s a loyal customer.
I have been checking the vending machines…I have NOT seen it! I must try it! Too bad it isn’t like Willy Wonka’s magical gobstopper with an entire breakfast in the flavor…start out with fresh orange juice, then pancakes, then bacon, then a cheese blintz for the finale!
If you keep your eyes out, you’ll find it in the vending machines. Is that the future of food? Everything in milkshake form? I like your idea of the entire meal, or maybe even a week’s worth of food in one shake!
