Anchan and can instantly turn drinks and food into bright royal blue, is available at Village Vanguard's online store . It is on sale. What kind of color and how can it be used for drinks and food? I was curious, so I actually bought it and made various summer snacks.

This is the package of Aomori's natural blue apple concentrate.

Inside the box was a bottle containing a dark blue liquid that was close to black, and a piece of paper with simple usage and precautionary statements.

The size of the bottle is 50 x 140 x 50 mm, and the content is 60 ml.

When I removed the lid, I was able to add the concentrate to drinks and food with a dropper method.

Aomori's natural blue apple concentrate is a concentrated solution containing a lot of anthocyanins extracted from Anchan flowers, and turns purple when lemons are added. So, I experimented with how the carbonated water changes depending on the amount of concentrate, and what kind of color it becomes when lemon is added.

I saw the color change in 'Natural Blue Apple Concentrate in Aomori'-YouTube


Experiment with mineral water. First, add the concentrate to the amount of one dropper.

The deep blue liquid collects on the bottom of the glass, creating a gradation, which alone looks cool.

When I stirred it, it turned light blue. However, the concentrated solution for one dropper has a flavor of 'Is there a little apple scent?', And if you drink it as it is, it will have a vague taste as if you diluted the juice, so add honey or syrup. It's better to drink.

If you add more ...

The light blue changes to bright royal blue. At this color, the water became a little sweeter. However, it does not seem to add flavor to tasteless and odorless foods, and it seems to be a good way to add flavor and color to drinks and foods that are originally sweet.

The application version when you can see the change in color. First, heat 350cc of water and add a mixture of 40g of sugar and 1.5 tablespoons of pearl agar little by little. Jelly can be made with gelatin or agar, but since the temperature is high in the summer, I chose an agar that coagulates even at room temperature and has high transparency.

When the sugar and pearl agar are well melted, use a dropper to hang the concentrate.

Mix well and when the blue color becomes uniform, first make milk jelly and harden it, then add the blue liquid.

It became a lighter shade, so it was even more concentrated.

If you scatter Alazan ...

Somehow it has a space-like atmosphere.

After cooling it in the refrigerator for a while and it hardens firmly, add gold powder to the finish.

So, the space jelly is ready.

Seen from the side, it looks like this.

While it was chilled and hardened, the concentrate spread and the marbleiness disappeared a little, but it became a cool-looking snack that was perfect for summer. One is deep blue ...

I tried to make the other one a little lighter. Since it is easy to adjust the amount with a dropper, it is also easy to adjust the color.

When I tried it, the blue jelly had a nice slightly apple flavor. I felt that the taste was a little light when it was just dissolved in water, but when I added sugar to make it into a jelly, the sweetness brought out the flavor of the apple. It's convenient because it's possible to quickly turn a simple water jelly into an apple-like one, but it doesn't go well with milk jelly, and it's better to eat it separately. So, to put it the other way around, the flavor of apples seems to limit usability a little in terms of the balance of taste.

In addition, prepare fruits etc ...

I will make various variations.

I will also make a jelly that is slightly purple by adding lemon.

Purple jelly made with blueberries is discolored by adding lemon, but I don't feel much lemon as a flavor at this level. The base was apple jelly with a gentle taste.

Beauty as if you were eating jewels.

Since the milk jelly was full, I put it in a silicon container and poured the blue jelly from above, and Mt. Fuji with a lot of snow was completed.

The color of the blue jelly is like eating the

blue cave on Capri Island.

When I put a slice of lemon between the water jelly and the blue jelly, it is a little difficult to see from the photo, but the part in contact with the lemon is pinkish, and I could find the gradation while eating. rice field.

In addition, I found an ice lolly mold at 100%, so I will try to make an ice lolly.

I'll pack cider and concentrate, lemon, edible flower, etc.

When I take out the frozen one ...

Like this.

The one with lemon is purplish, though it is a little.

I loosened the mixing method, so the bottom was darker in blue.

The price of Aomori's natural blue apple concentrate (concentrate) is 1296 yen including tax. Please note that it is not available at Village Vanguard stores and is only available at online stores.
