This is the Zunda Saryo Zunda Shake, a blend of zunda incorporated into a milk-based vanilla shake.

The shake had an opaque white hue flecked with green and emitted a sweet vanilla aroma. Consumed chilled, the zunda’s presence was immediately noticeable, providing a fun granular texture that released a slightly savoury, edamame-like flavour when chewed. This natural savouriness was well-balanced by the milk-based vanilla shake, which offered a smooth, mellow sweetness that enhanced the zunda’s flavour. The combination resulted in a rounded, satisfying taste experience.

This shake stood out among similar offerings from other stores, such as Ocha no Igeta, where the zunda flavour was more subdued, and the milky notes were more pronounced. It was thoroughly enjoyable and worth repurchasing.

This Zunda Shake was purchased from Zunda Saryo in Sendai, Japan in 2024.
