春、秋、冬の夜に
ホットココアを飲むのが好きです。
I like to drink hot cocoa on spring, fall, and winter nights.
簡単に作れるのと
甘くてリラックスできるので
毎日飲んでいます。
I drink it every day because it is easy to make and sweet and relaxing.
目次
結構な出費 Quite an expense.
毎日3～4杯ぐらい飲みます。
I drink about 3-4 cups every day.
大体1，2週間で一つの袋がなくなります。
I usually run out of a bag in a week or two.
私一人しか飲んでいませんので
なんとなくもったいない気がします。
I feel like it is a waste because I am the only one drinking it.
でも、ココアは飲みたい。
But I want to drink cocoa.
メーカーにはこだわらないので
安いところを探してみることにしました。
I don’t care about the manufacturer, so I decided to look for cheap cocoa.
意外な結果に Surprising result
結論から言うと、近くのスーパーで買うのが
一番安い方法でした。
As it turns out, the cheapest way was to buy it at a nearby supermarket.
イメージ的にこういう時はネットで買うと安いという印象でしたが、
今回は違ったようです。
I had the impression that it was cheaper to buy cocoa on the Internet, but this time it was different.
今回スーパーで見つけたココアは
森永のミルクココアです。
The cocoa I found at the supermarket this time was Morinaga’s Milk Cocoa.
300gで298円でした。
The price was 298 yen for 300g.
1g当たり0.99円です。
The price per gram is 0.99 yen.
対してネットの場合は
業務用でも1kgで1135円でした。
On the other hand, the price on the Internet was 1,135 yen for 1 kg of cocoa, even if it is for professional use.
1g当たり1.1円でそれに送料もかかります。
It costs 1.1 yen per gram, plus shipping costs.
他のココアも1g当たり1.5円～2円のところが多い結果です。
Other cocoa prices are also 1.5 to 2 yen per gram in most cases.
これに送料かかります。
This is in addition to the shipping cost.
この結果には驚きでした。

まとめ Conclusion
現状最も安くココアを飲もうとすると
近所のスーパーで買うのが
一番いい方法のようです。
Currently, the best way to drink cocoa at the lowest price seems to be to buy it at a local supermarket.
スーパーということであれば
都市圏のスーパーや大型店舗、コストコや業務用スーパーなど
可能性が広がります。
If it means supermarkets, there are many possibilities such as supermarkets in urban areas, large stores, Costco, and commercial supermarkets.
引き続き調査を続けたいと思います。
I will continue to investigate.
Note: Cocoa and Drink
Cocoa is made from cacao beans.
Chocolate can also be made from cocoa.
There are similarities.
The one with the oil content of cocoa butter is called chocolate,
The one without the oil content of cocoa butter is called cocoa.
In other words, there seems to be little difference between hot chocolate and cocoa.
The difference seems to be the presence or absence of cocoa butter.
In terms of image, hot chocolate is more fashionable.
I think this is because it takes a lot of time and effort to melt the oil.
Hot chocolate is served at fashionable cafes or at home for special occasions.
Cocoa has a gentle, homey feel.
It’s easy to make and it’s nice.
It is hard to say which is better.
Both are wonderful.
If it’s hard to choose, let’s honor both.
