This video features Part 2 of our introduction to Ms. Mochinaga Rio from “Koryū Junkissa Nagori,” detailing their top 3 menu items: cream soda, pudding, and parfait. Their homemade pudding became incredibly popular after the drama “Machinami Terasu Yatsura” aired a scene of four high school girls eating it – orders flooded in from the very next day, temporarily overwhelming their production capacity. Among their 15+ varieties of cream soda, the “Koisuru Cream Soda” (Love Cream Soda in pink) and “Hoshizora no Cream Soda” (Starry Sky Cream Soda with purple-to-blue gradient) are particularly popular. They even hold cream soda workshops for children. Looking ahead, they’re planning to develop a drinkable “walking pudding” for takeaway. The content impressively showcases Ms. Mochinaga’s vision of serving as a hub to share the charm of a shopping street where people can enjoy Showa-era atmosphere in the Reiwa era, creating a café beloved by both locals and tourists.
Hosts (Ishizaki & Takasugi) 0:00 Hello everyone. Hello.
Host (Ishizaki) 0:04 Welcome to the Joyful Minowa Shopping Street Official YouTube Channel. Today’s program is also hosted by Vice Chairman…
Host (Takasugi) 0:11 Takasugi and…
Host (Ishizaki) 0:12 Secretary Ishizaki. Thank you for watching. This program introduces charming owners and hidden gems of Joyful Minowa that other information shows haven’t fully covered. Please enjoy!
We’re back at Nagori-san today. If you missed Part 1 that we filmed earlier, please watch that first before watching this Part 2. Thank you.
Mochinaga Rio 0:48 Thank you for having us.
Host (Ishizaki) 0:49 This is Ms. Mochinaga from Koryū Junkissa Nagori.
Mochinaga Rio 0:55 I’m Mochinaga from Koryū Junkissa Nagori. Nice to meet you.
Everyone 0:58 Nice to meet you.
Host (Ishizaki) 1:01 What about your recommended menu items?
Host (Takasugi) 1:04 Oh, that’s necessary.
Mochinaga Rio 1:06 If I had to pick our top 3 recommendations: cream soda, pudding, and parfait – the parfait menu that we recently started.
Host (Ishizaki) 1:18 Oh. Is the parfait like a fruit parfait?
Mochinaga Rio 1:22 The very first one was a chocolate banana parfait using our homemade pudding, but we literally just started this week – the strawberry parfait is our current top recommendation. It’s a strawberry parfait with homemade pudding and macarons, decorated with ribbons on the dishes – it’s really cute.
Host (Ishizaki) 1:49 It looks delicious. So cute.
Mochinaga Rio 1:53 It’s really loaded with all sorts of things.
Host (Takasugi) 1:56 Looks like it has good volume.
Host (Ishizaki) 1:57 Definitely looks filling.
Mochinaga Rio 1:59 Yes, someone ordered it today and finished it completely.
Host 2:04 Wow, amazing.
Host (Ishizaki) 2:05 Did a girl order this?
Mochinaga Rio 2:07 Yes, that’s right. A young woman.
Host (Ishizaki) 2:12 You mentioned the pudding has been featured on TV frequently.
Host (Takasugi) 2:17 Right, it was on TV.
Host 2:19 Yes, they were eating it in “Machinami Terasu Yatsura.”
Host (Takasugi) 2:23 High school students were eating it on TV.
Mochinaga Rio 2:25 Yes, that’s right. Four high school girls in a drama scene.
Host (Takasugi) 2:31 I heard that the next day, young people came and it sold out immediately.
Mochinaga Rio 2:37 Yes, exactly. Production temporarily couldn’t keep up.
Host (Ishizaki) 2:45 Amazing! The program effect is really working.
Host (Ishizaki) 2:48 The cream soda comes in yellow and blue, and pink too, right? About 5 varieties?
Mochinaga Rio 3:08 Well, cream soda itself – if you combine cream sodas and floats, just counting quickly, there are over 15 varieties.
The “Koisuru Cream Soda” (Love Cream Soda) is pink, and the shop is particularly promoting this pink cream soda.
Host (Ishizaki) 3:20 Oh, cute.
Mochinaga Rio 3:22 We have solid colors too, but the gradient “Hoshizora no Cream Soda” (Starry Sky Cream Soda) is currently the most popular.
Host (Ishizaki) 3:30 Starry sky! Hahaha! You’re grinning!
Mochinaga Rio 3:31 Purple to blue gradient cream soda.
Host (Ishizaki) 3:41 How do you create the gradient?
Mochinaga Rio 3:43 For the gradient, for example with this Starry Sky Cream Soda, first you add blue syrup, then mix with soda water, then add pink from the top. When pink and blue mix, it becomes purple. The syrup sinks to the bottom, creating that gradient effect.
We actually hold “Cream Soda Workshops” as events.
Host (Ishizaki) 4:17 Kids would love that.
Mochinaga Rio 4:18 Yes, exactly. Elementary school children make them together with us. We teach everyone how to create gradients.
Host (Ishizaki) 4:30 We’ve heard so much – what’s the future direction for Nagori?
Mochinaga Rio 4:38 What do you think will happen?
Host (Ishizaki) 4:39 Oh, a voice from the shadows. A voice from heaven.
Voice from heaven 4:44 You’re entering your third year.
Host (Ishizaki) 4:48 Ah, third year starting today. I see.
Mochinaga Rio 4:57 Until now, we’ve managed to get this far with everyone’s help, but for the third year, I want us to become a hub that can attract more customers from outside, a place that can serve as a transmission point.
Host (Ishizaki) 5:11 That’s exactly right! People who saw the drama come to Nagori first, then visit various other shops – they come in clusters. They look at surrounding shops while starting here first, like a reference point.
Mochinaga Rio 5:32 Thank you very much.
Host 5:33 Looking forward to it!
Mochinaga Rio 5:37 Speaking of future plans, we’re currently planning to make our homemade pudding available for takeaway walking around. We’re creating drinkable pudding.
Host 5:53 Oh, drinkable!
Mochinaga Rio 5:55 For walking around. Café menu items aren’t really suitable for walking around and eating, but we want to make pudding you can drink while walking – eat yakitori and drink pudding.
Host (Takasugi) 6:06 That’s powerful.
Mochinaga Rio 6:07 That’s what we’d like to do, so please look forward to it.
Host (Ishizaki) 6:11 What are the good points about Joyful Minowa, and what do you hope for in the future?
Mochinaga Rio 6:21 The good point is that in this Reiwa era, you can still enjoy Showa atmosphere here, and it continues as part of daily life – that’s what I find truly attractive.
It’s a shopping street that local customers use for daily needs, but foreign tourists also come to visit – this mix of different elements coexisting is really wonderful.
Host (Ishizaki) 6:55 That’s true.
Host (Takasugi) 6:57 Interesting. I see.
Host (Ishizaki) 7:01 Takasugi-san, we’ve now reached our fourth episode and heard from various people – any overall comments?
Host (Takasugi) 7:09 Everyone has love for Joyful and enjoys it with such positive, cheerful attitudes. Being able to live with that kind of smile is wonderful. I feel that. Let’s continue being Joyful – aiming for world Joyful, that kind of feeling.
Short. Short.
Host (Ishizaki) 7:35 Shorter than usual.
Host (Ishizaki) 7:38 Thank you very much.
Everyone 7:39 Thank you very much.
Host (Ishizaki) 7:42 This was the first time hearing such detailed stories, so it was very refreshing, and we could see even more how well the couple gets along. Thank you. Until next time, everyone!
Everyone 7:55 Thank you very much.
