Q&A
What does it taste like? Is makomo powder bitter?
No. Makomo powder is not as bitter as you would think. It has a pleasant bitterness akin to green tea. So it is perfectly easy to consume as a drink.
I would like to mix it with shochu (shochu, diluted with carbonated water) and drink it every day. Is it okay?
Generally, shochu made using Makomo can be found on the market, and there is no problem with the ingredients even if you mix Makomo powder with shochu (shochu, carbonated).
In terms of taste, the remaining particles of Makomo powder may leave a rough texture in your throat and mouth, making it difficult to drink. Please be aware of this point.
Is there any good live bacteria in Makomo?
According to the analysis results of the Food Analysis Center, it is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and folic acid, but we are not sure about the presence of live bacteria.
Has it been sterilized?
Makomo is dried with hot air and is also sterilized at the same time. It is then processed into powder.
