On May 7 at 4:00, NIJISANJI held a collaborative stream “ASAP Otsumami Draft” with ASAP featuring Kuzuha and Kanae. In this stream, the recommended way to drink ASAP was introduced: mixing the Korean shochu “Chamisul” with ASAP at a ratio of 1:1.
Kanae, Kuzuha,
Thank you very much for your hard work on the YouTube live streaming!When I first heard about the theme of the “Otsumami Draft”, I had high expectations and a little bit of anxiety about how exciting it would be, but from the moment the streaming started, I was impressed by the excitement of Kanae-san, Kuzuha-san, and all the viewers.
We learned a lot from watching the combination of various foods and ASAP, and the compatibility of each flavor.
NIJISANJI staff recommended mixing and drinking ASAPs, which was also a new discovery!
Chamisap!
Chamisul comes in a variety of flavors, but which combination is best with ASAP?Spodori x ASAP
I’m going to try it in the sauna next time I’m in the sauna…maybe I’ll drink it instead of fat…We hope you’ll try it, too!
