The Only Great Start to Your Morning

The next time you're on your way to Japan, make sure you give this a try. If you want the taste of drinking pancake batter without the health side effects of drinking pancake batter, then Japanese food manufacturer Morinaga has what you're looking for. On September 8, the company released a drink they call Hotcake Milkshake, which is basically a canned drink that tastes like a fresh pancake breakfast.

It costs about $1.40 and each can contains 10 ounces of the milkshake drink, which tastes like a pancake, but doesn’t have any of the nutritional benefits of the pancake. Apparently, the Morinaga pancake mix is a Japanese tradition, like Bisquick or Aunt Jemima in the States.

This is just a way for the Japanese to get their pancake on without having to bake flapjacks in the morning before heading out to catch the bullet train. If you want food on the go, there’s no solution like a canned sandwich washed down with a canned pancake milkshake! Sound yummy?
