zeist, why not sleep earlier?

my tuition teacher says: after you drank yomeishu u will *ZzzzZZzzZz* and wakes up refreshed. i donno, didnt try before. gonna try after my exam =.= (haven't finish school yet)

and he also mention: if you are an adult, try guinness stout and you shall sleep straight after you drink... and have the same effect as above. O.O according to him la.

my mum used to say that drinking yomesihu make her fat, so i never tried..;

lately, i heard conversation tat dome helps in sleeping alot better; but it is kinda sweet....then at first, one small cup works, sooner or later,one can become addicted and take two cups or more.....

yomeishu has only 12 percent alcohol but DOM has 40 plus, if anything DOM with its alcohol content will damage your liver if taken daily

Guys and ladies.. anyone try both of it and can give respond ? since my mum works as a babysitter, she often wake up middle of the night and i felt so sorry for her to have her working in her early 50s, i plan to buy her yoimesu or DOM and gift to her this Friday since i'm going back to hometown (previously CNY given her bird nest she din drink also )

I want to know which 1 gave the followings ? or better in the followings ? price does not matter much if there is another brand i should consider on.. budget can go up to 100 - 500.00


1. Reduce tiredness (major problem for her work)
2. take care of old lady health
3. no harm (in the sense of the sweetness ? diabetics?)
4. Rejuvenate


please advice guys.. gonna give her this Friday when i return back to hometown therefor latest by Thursday need to buy after work

I tried yomeishu before, the taste is too sweet for me.

As for DOM, I think that it has really high content of alcohol in it. That is how I fall asleep immediately right after a small cup of DOM, it can really make my body 'heaty' and hot to sleep at night, good for cold weather though.

DOM is from France while yomeishu is from japan if my memory serves me right. Not sure whether both suitable for diabetic patient (or anyone who try to avoid sweet/ high sugar content drinks), I doubt so.

Personally I prefer DOM over yomeishu, but I didn't realize it has any effect on me, I mean in terms of rejuvenate, energetic, reduce tiredness, I still feel the same. One pros is easily fall asleep, that is also because of the high alcohol content in it.

Maybe you should ask the shop assistant for advice. Try survey around and only make final decision whether to get which for your mum.

thanks man for the valuable advice, i was trying to avoid DOM cox of the high alcoholic content in it as my mum dun like alcohol unlike my father, she also dun like too sweet things however she is free from diabetic la... hmm puzzle.. or anyother recomendation as for rejuvenating and reduxce tiredness ????

Off topic.

This is just my own opinion. Bird nest is good for skin while DOM/ Yomeishu is good for uterus, mostly during confinement to keep warm, chicken essence is good for temporary focus and concentration power.

In my point of view, actually your mum doesn't need all this, not that she doesn't need it, it just that I believe (you know her the best) your mum is a frugal person, she save and rather spend it on her loved ones. If this time, you really buy healthy tonic for her to drink, I guess she will not drink it too, she will keep it as long as she could for rainy day, some Asian parents are like that.

When an elderly content with their life, they tends to be happier and healthier.

Correct me if I am wrong. Just sharing.

Sometimes it is a bit difficult to know what elderly want, money can't always buy them happiness. Of course depend on which kind of elderly too.

i been taking tang long for a few years. dun like dom due to the high alcohol content, dislike yomeishu due to price

but this is just personal pference anyway

planning to buy yomeishu for my mum who just underwent her valve changes surgery. It is suitable?

I personally prefer yomeishu over DOM.. I guess all these traditional health drinks u should consult ur mom's doc whether she is fit to drink or nt since she had the valve surgery before.

I wonder if yomeishu is safe since the japanese nuclear plant meltdown?? In March 2011 i think....no more old stock, got one chinese medicine shop selling 2009 and 2010 stocks but nearly finished...just wondering...u know competence of our gomen la in checking things..

Yup, I also want to know is it still safe to drink. Especially for women before and after birth.

Everytime when i come back form oversea, i drop by at Duty Free Shop. They did not sell Yomeishu anymore. Only got DOM.

Jux bought Yomeishu from speedmart, RM88.80 per bottle

Is the thread still"alive"?! No choice but to dig out this old thread as I have some questions about DOM and Yomeishu.

1. Any expiry date for DOM? Tried to search online and most ppl comment there is no expiry date! Is it true? As I discovered one unopened DOM which bought over 20 years ago!

2. Read in Yomeishu website that sealed bottle can keep up to 4 years from manufacturing date. So if the bottle I have was manufactured in year Oct 2011, how do I calculate 4 years properly? Does it mean I can consume it before Oct 2015? Not Oct 2014?

hmm.... 40% alcohol ??!

Ya . That's why they used this for cooking instead.

Anyone have good feedback for DOM and Yomeishu?
