Please choose, Emichi.
Really, can I, Tomo-chan?
Sure, go ahead.
The quality is very different.
You're kidding. It's the same, isn't it?
No, totally different.
But my finger is on my chin, like this.
-Look, it’s cute. -Cute.
OMG...what should I do with this. I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say this but it does look like a butt.
Hot! Inner Beauty Trend. How about this?
Sounds good.
OK then let’s go with this.
HOT! Inner Beauty Trend, check it out.
HOT! Inner Beauty Trend No.3 SodaSparkle
Get beautiful from inside of your body.
Last year the latest inner beauty items landed in Japan for the first time!
With SodaSparkle home soda maker, you can make carbonated beverages easily at home.
To use: Insert the disposable SodaSparkle carbonator cartridge into your SodaSparkle bottle filled with chilled water,
...then twist the top.

Drinking soda water makes you full and not only is it effective for dieting, it also improves blood circulation and rids of waste in the body and thus, leads to healthy beautiful skin and whiter skin!
For only 50 yen per liter,you can get beautiful from inside your body.
HOT! Inner Beauty Trend! No.2. Collagen
One of the most popular and effective item for plumping up the skin, collagen, is evolving.
First check out this “Umi no Hime (Princess of The Sea)."
Collagen beverages are prevalent in the market, but Umi no Hime focused on marine collagen. This drink has 5 condensed marine beauty ingredients in it including marine collagen extracted from fish scales.
Also, the ingredients are easily absorbed by the body as low-molecular collagen peptides are used.
With this one bottle, you can compensate your entire daily intake of collagen.
Next, this is a cake roll that contains collagen. Collagen’s hydrating characteristic makes the cake incomparably super-moist.
As you can get one step closer to being beautiful by eating this treat, this popular cake roll has a strong following of repeated customers.
Now, this is natto (fermented soy beans) that contain collagen. A Japanese traditional fermented food, natto itself contains rich dietary fibers and isoflavonoids which enrich the skin.
In addition, collagen is contained. Please try it with rice.
HOT! Inner Beauty Trend! No.1 Muesli
In 2013, easy and highly nutritious cereal food, granola, fueled a boom.
And in 2014, muesli is the next thing to come.
What is muesli? It’s a cereal food which includes millets like oats added with dried fruits and nuts.
As you can see, its appearance and ingredients are almost the same as granola. What separates the two is...
taste.
While granola is made by adding sweet ingredients, such as honey and sugar, to millets and then baked in the oven,
muesli is simply made by mixing ingredients without cooking it! In other words, it’s a simple and highly nutritious food that makes us healthier.
Wow, that was a lot.
Yeah, there were lots of interesting stuff.
Tomo-chan, what was the most interesting topic for you?
For me, the last one. Muesli.
Do you eat granola? On a daily basis?
Not that much, but I eat cereal.
-It's basically cereals so... -You want to try a little? -I'd love to!
Classic way to enjoy muesli; simply enjoy it plain. Or, add milk or yogurt on top. Add honey, maple syrup and fruit as you like.
Oh, that is too strange, it's weird.
Different version, curry.
-Curry?! -This is curry!
I want to eat this first.
First you want to try plain muesli?
First, just muesli.
I’ll try it.
What do you think?
It's not sweet.
Taste of the natural ingredients?
This one looks tastier.
This one is honey-and-yogurt.
Oh, it's maple syrup.
-YES! It’s easy to eat -Easy to eat?
Very healthy, isn’t it?
Tomo-chan, try this next.
No, not me.
Tomo-chan, next is this one.
Don’t you think this one looks weird?
I can’t stop thinking this combination shouldn’t be happening.
Yeah. I can’t imagine it.
Because, you know, it should be rice when it comes to curry.
First of all we don’t know muesli at all. That’s why I assume the curry flavor will overcome everythng else, maybe.
Emiko, you want to become beautiful, don’t you?
I want to become beautiful.
Eat as much as you want, ok?
I’ll try.
It's curry!
The curry is overpowers the others?
The curry flavor is strong, and so the remaining mission becomes to chew on the muesli.
I want to try it. Can I have some?
Your mission will become to chew on the muesli.
What do you mean by mission?
Let me try a little.
It’s curry.
Yeah it is. Right?
It's not rice but muesli, so you can eat curry more healthily. I think that’s really good.
Feeling of fullness?
It gives you a feeling of fulness.
I want to check the yogurt one, too.
Want to check?!
-Doesn't it taste good? -Yes it’s good.
Yogurt easily flows into my mouth.
The muesli gets softer, doesn’t it?
As this makes soft muesli,
so I can taste it in my nostrils. It's fragrant.
Of the oats?
Because the ingredients are all natrual.
Oats contain 5 times more calcium than that of brown rice, twice as much iron and three times the dietary fiber of brown rice.
Yeah it looks like it contains lots of dietary fibers.
It’s good for women, isn’t it? It helps the lack of calcium iron, too.
-That was great, too, he soda-making one. -Oh this one.
Shall we try this?
Tomo-chan, which flavor would you like?
I’d like orange juice.
Turn the nozzle.
Turn the nozzle?
You are doing good.
Wait for more than one minute until the sparkling process is done. Please wait a bit longer.
-Now standby. -Standby.
Carbonated gas will leak if you turn this.
Let me do that too, give me one.
Scary, scary, that one is scary.
We might mess it up, huh?
What is that? I’m not sure what this is.
Orange juice, oolong tea, corn soup.
Oolong tea soda.
I hear scary sounds from Emiko’s side.
Yeah it’s making a hissing sound.
No, no, no.
Open it a little, and it’ll be fine.
-Look look look! You saw it now right? -Release the air little by little.
It’s strange.
It’s fine, it's fine.
This is dangerous, isn’t it?
See, see? It's dangerous!
It went well, I'm relieved. Now it’s ready!
Shall we try the orange juice first?
Well then, Emiko, you drink.
Cheeeers!
Nice! Classy.
It’s very fizzy.
Yummy!
-It's very fizzy! -Nice.
This orange juice is soda.
Yummy.
This is like a real product in the market.
It tastes so good!
Because it’s 100% juice.
-You don’t see 100% juice soda, do we? -No! -No!
You know our voices just synchronized.
It tastes great.
At this rate, we can expect oolong tea to be good, too.
You want to try oolong tea, too?
There isn't such a product, is there?
No no no no.
It’s soda, it’s soda.
It’s like beer.
It’s a little beer-ish.
Cheeeers!
How is it? Oolong tea soda.
Oh, I like it! It tastes like alcohol!
Tastes like beer.
It’s like beer.
It slightly becomes sour.
Oh, this is beer!
Maybe it’s good for non-drinkers.
It’s like beer.
Interesting. What is this?
Maybe this should be served at izakayas (Japanese drinking places).
I feel like I might get drunk.
This would be fun if there’s one at home.
How much is this?
6,980 yen.
It’s reasonable.
-About 7,000 yen. -And you can use it forever.
When having a home party, we can have so much fun with this.
Yeah, like “Let's try it, let's try it!”
With hotpot soup, for example.
Let’s try the hotpot soup!
That definitely is fun.
There’s corn soup.
This is quite challenging.
It’s scary...I think it’s a little scary.
Is this soda-ized?
Judging from what I can see, it isn’t that different.
Cheers.
It's super-little bubbly.
Please try it.
Super-little bubbly.
It’s a little freshening, really.
What, are you refreshing our mouth?
What if we try this with whipping cream?
-I want to try drinking that. -I want to try milk, too.
Do we have milk?
There’s no milk.
Interesting.
Collagen drink, “Umi no Hime.”
Let’s drink it, shall we?
It said it contains enough collagen for a day?
What flavor is this?
Mixed fruit flavor containing apple and orange juice to make it easy to drink. Collagen’s unique smell is hardly noticeable.
It’s marine collagen, isn’t it?
Never tried this before.
What does this smell like?
Do you think I can drink it?
I’ll try it. I can drink it.
I can drink it, no problem.
Orange and apple.
This one bottle contains the total intake of collagen for the day.
It plumps up your skin.
It has vitamin C, too.
We gotta drink this, don’t we?
One bottle per day.
500 mg is quite a lot.
Usually, collagen drinks are hard to drink.
But his is easy to drink.
I finished it all!
I knew you could do it.
I gotta become a princess of the sea.
A sea creature, a merman.
Not that kind, another kind.
I believe there was collagen natto too. Right?
Oh this one.
Do you eat natto?
I love it.
-Wanna see inside? -YES.
Collagen.
This collagen can easily be absorbed into the human body as this is made by the natto bacteria.
The ideal amount of collagen that an adult woman needs to take for a day is 1,900mg. You can take 2,500mg of collagen with a pack of natto.
So, if you have this natto and the collagen drink?
-Your skin will be awesome the following day. -Yeah it’ll be beautifully plumpy.
I remember there was a cake roll. Cake roll that makes your skin beautiful.
Looks so yummy.
Cake roll from Cake House Honda.
So white!
It looks so soft.
Tomo-chan, how about it?
Let’s eat together.
In addition to this, there is also “Beautiful Skin Pudding,” “Beautiful Skin Cheese Cake” and “Beautiful Skin Fresh Cream Chocolate Sandwich” in the store.
What a waste if we don’t finish it.
I’ll have this.
Soft and moist. Easy to eat.
Also good for your skin.
It’s really easy to eat! I don’t feel any weight of fresh cream because it’s so soft and light.
Let me try. You are right! It’s so light!
Soft and moist like a steamed bread.
It's tastefully sweetened.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea if we eat this with the soda?
Milk soda is ready.
It's ready?
I wanted to drink milk now.
Great timing.
Tomo-chan, you want to make it?
Yes, I do.
Is it OK?
It’s like making a cake. It looks yummy.
It looks like it could become fresh cream.
And if it goes well, it would be the best combination, don’t you think?
No no no.
It’s fine.
It’s thick.
It’s weird! It’s like yogurt.
This is thick.
Drink, you two.
Cheers.
Don’t you think this is thick?
Say something.
What is this taste?
The taste is gone.
Taste is gone? Not possible.
Milk might not be good.
I have an impression that this one is like a shake, am I right?
You are right about its texture but there’s no taste. The milk taste is gone, so it’s just a drink with a smooth texture now.
I want to drink it.
It has lost its milkiness because soda makes it taste sour.
It’s more like yogurt.
I think it would be better with liquids that go well with a little sourness to it. Such as juice and tea. Not dairy.
Alcohol is probably good.
If mixed with wine, it’ll become sparkling wine? Nice!
So, we had a lot of fun with “Twispa Soda.”
You’ll become beautiful from inside our body.
We got beautiful AND had fun.
Now let's go to the next one, what are we going to check out?
I’m curious about....
