Tomokazu Seki Judges Diet Gourmet "Yes or No"! Reiji Kawashima Also Amazed by Tofu Cheesecake

On ABEMA, "Say You To Yo Asobi Friday [Tomokazu Seki × Reiji Kawashima] #33" was broadcast on Friday, February 20th at 10 PM.

In this broadcast, they conducted "Yes? No? Let's Try Diet Gourmet!" to verify whether it's possible to achieve both satisfaction and healthiness for Seki, who says he's been "practicing moderation" recently. They tried various diet gourmet foods that are trending these days.

■Tomokazu Seki: "I Want to Lose Weight While Getting Satisfaction!" Honest Opinions Burst Out During Diet Gourmet "Yes or No" Judgment!?

The verification of trending menu items started right from the first half of the program. Seki, who demands "taste" and "satisfaction" from diet foods, saying "I'm the type who hates enduring bland food" and "I want to lose weight while properly getting satisfaction. Without satisfaction, I end up eating when I get home anyway," tasted various diet gourmet foods and judged them as "yes or no."

The first item to appear was cauliflower fried rice using "cauliflower rice," which is cauliflower processed into rice grain shapes. Seki was surprised at the aroma stage, saying "It smelled like fried rice," and as soon as he took a bite, he gave high praise, saying "Delicious! This is good." Kawashima also nodded, saying "The taste is properly fried rice too," and even threw in a comment from a "blood sugar spike" perspective, saying "You probably won't get sleepy after lunch." Together, the two gave it a "yes" judgment.

However, after that, they verified items one after another, including oatmeal chijimi and zero-sugar noodle meat sauce pasta, but nothing quite emerged as a decisive winner surpassing the "cauliflower fried rice," resulting in the two's judgments being split.

What appeared in such circumstances was "tofu cheesecake" made with silken tofu and yogurt. With this surprising recipe that recreates cheesecake without using high-calorie cream cheese, Seki asked "You can taste the cheese!?" and Kawashima also asked "You can modify it that much!?" Both approached it skeptically, but when they tasted it, they were surprised, saying "Delicious!" and "Unexpectedly tasty." Furthermore, arrangement ideas came up, such as "It might be even better with blueberry sauce" and "It would be good as a tart base."

However, in the judgment, while Seki gave it a "yes" rating for having "satisfaction," Kawashima raised concerns about the high sugar usage, saying "I feel the potential, but..." and gave it a "no" judgment. After that, a criticism about its reality as diet food also burst out from Seki, saying "It's certainly delicious, but I'm a bit concerned about the sugar content."

Furthermore, "rice paper crepes" appeared, an arrangement of crepes, Seki's favorite food, using rice paper, but they still couldn't match real crepes, leading to Seki's honest opinion bursting out: "Then I'd just eat a small crepe!" Thus, the two keenly felt the difficulty of diet gourmet that clears both "taste" and "satisfaction." At the end, Seki said "I feel like I've lost weight somehow. From the mental stress (lol)," and the studio was enveloped in laughter.
