Danganronpa 2 × Mixx Garden

2022 Collaboration Café Drink Recipes & Reviews (Pt. 1)

Since October of 2022, I've been very slowly working my way through a project in which I've recreated (to the best of my ability) the drink recipes advertised as part of the Mixx Garden & Danganronpa 2 collab.

Below the cut will be my recreations and reviews of the first three (out of eleven) character-themed drinks on the menu—the ones for Hajime Hinata, Nagito Komaeda, and Gundham Tanaka.

If you end up creating any of these yourself, I'd love to hear what you think!

I spent my time during the collab looking at all of the images I could find of people's drinks on Twitter and Instagram, searching relevant words and tags in both Japanese and English. I was able to find at least two images of every single drink at the café.

My information on the ingredients comes from the descriptions on the menu, as well as what I could infer from the pictures.

Without further ado, let's begin.

—————

First on the list is Hajime Hinata's drink. The ingredients (translated into English for your convenience) are:

Mint candy pearls (dragées), 8-minute whipped cream, white hot chocolate, mint (garnish, not mentioned in recipe but present in photo)

Now for the record, I have no professional experience making food or drinks. I'm not exactly sure what makes "8-minute" whipped cream distinct from the other recipes being listed with just unspecified whipped cream, but I abided by the rules and whipped the cream for approx. 8 minutes. I assume it has something to do with the stiffer peaks giving it a denser feel.

I wasn't able to find candy pearls that were mint-flavored, which is a shame. But I did manage to find silver ones to match the look of the images.

It was fun to make the white hot chocolate from scratch as well, which I did in a batch large enough also to serve the friends I had over for the New Year's Eve party I was hosting.

Happy birthday, Hajime.

On a personal level I'm typically not a fan of white chocolate, but this was nice. The mint was a very good touch. My friends, who do like white chocolate, appreciated the drink even more than I did. Two of the four people present ranked it a 10 out of 10.

—————

Second on the menu was Nagito Komaeda's drink. The ingredients are:

Raspberries, whitewater (Calpis water), black lemon jelly

If you're unfamiliar with Calpis (alternatively spelled Calpico) and plan on making this drink yourself, do make sure that you get the diluted Calpis water and not the concentrated form.

In the pictures of this drink I looked at, the raspberries appeared to be frozen, which made them have this nice bleeding as they thawed.

Well, I forgot to do that.

If you've never had Calpis water before, you may worry that something with a milky, yogurt-y flavor wouldn't mix well with the lemon flavor. I can assure you that it actually works just fine.

I only had one other friend with me to try this one, and he doesn't like raspberries much. He still gave it a 7 out of 10. I think this drink is great.

—————

Lastly for this post, the third drink was Gundham Tanaka's. The ingredients are:

Whipped cream, blueberries, cola

Simple enough.

I made four to share with others, and apparently forgot to take a picture of one solitary.

After such a fortuitous result with my enjoyment of the prior drink, I knew my luck was soon to turn.

If I had to describe the taste of this drink through comparison, I'd probably say it tastes somewhere between a root beer float and pilk. I do not like either of those.

One of my friends said she quite liked it, and ranked it an 8.5 out of 10. Another called it "harmless".

—————

Next on the list, which I will get around to in a sequel post, will be the drinks for Kazuichi Soda, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, and Izuru Kamukura.

Thanks for reading, see you next time!

Danganronpa will be having another collab cafe with Mixx Garden featuring stained-glass versions of some DR1, 2 and V3 characters! The cafe runs from 13 August to 13 September.

Each drink comes with a random coaster while each food dish comes with an A3 lunch mat. The choice of food and drinks are separated into two halves.

The other goods include acrylic stands, keychains, badges, canvas board, acrylic panel and a multi holder.

Each customer can get a free postcard for dining!

Like the previous cafe, at the end of the collab period lucky customers can win one of the 18 panels that will be on display in the store.

recipe review incoming?

for the sake of full and complete clarity, i would like to say that i have dedicated an upsetting amount of my free time to recreating the danganronpa 2 mixx garden collaboration cafe drinks from october of last year. i have completed most of them, and will make a review post when i am finished, if anyone out there is interested in seeing the fruits of my labor. upon revealing my goal of making all of these beverages on my own to a friend, i was told that i did "not need to experience danganronpa with any more senses than i already do". this is a fair criticism of the usage of my time, but unfortunately i have already gone and made many of them. i cant just stop now

A riddle for the ages: You start with a cushion. You remove its stuffing, even having to resew the bottom once you're done replacing the stuffing. Is it still the same cushion?
