DISAPPOINTMENT. I made fake Aozu today. And it didn't taste bad.
In fact.
I kinda liked it a little.
Today was my early day at work and I decided, what the hell, let's try another Inui Juice. Off trip-trapping to the store I go. The official ingredients for Aozu are: water, a sour plum, lemon juice, cheese flakes, soy milk, and something called Blue Hawaii syrup. The internet tells me that this is a coconut-based syrup that can be used to make sno-cones. The internet also tells me that rum, blue curacao, orange juice, and pineapple juice make a Blue Hawaii. I am strongly tempted to just buy the alcohol and have no one be the wiser.
Moving forward, I found at the store: water, lemon juice, cheese flakes, soy milk, and a black plum. No blue syrup or mix to make blue syrup. And yet, on my quest for blueness, I did discover that the grocery store sells clam juice. That's right. The juice product from clams. Why anyone would even want to use such an ingredient, I have no idea. Well, I have an idea but it's from the evil side of my brain and so we won't discuss it.
Well, Aozu can't not be blue. So in a brilliant substitution move, I bought blue Hawaiian punch. Be awed at my non-existent juice-making skills, yo.
Back at home, I liberated my blender from dusty exile and threw everything in. The end result wasn't very blue, so I added more Hawaiian punch. I finally got an opaque, bluish mixture which looks nothing like Inui Juice in the anime. In the anime, it's violently blue. My Aozu was kinda a laid-back, how-you-doin' kinda blue. I blame the soy milk. It's too soy or something.
I smell it. It smells like nothing in particular. I taste. It tastes like like Hawaiian punch, lemon, and milk. To be honest, it's not a bad taste combination. And yet, it fells Fuji. Perhaps there is something in the Blue Hawaii syrup mix that tastes like death? But I like sno-cones and coconuts. This page, which purports to have made it, says that Aozu tastes like earth. It must be the Blue Hawaii stuff because my Aozu isn't even close to tasting like earth. Not that I've tasted earth. Er.
So, in conclusion, does anyone have spare Blue Hawaii mix they would like to mail me? And fake Penal-tea is much worse than fake Aozu.
In fact.
