Koiwai Brand Milk Coffee

babibubebo | 16 05 2008

I have been posting about different kinds of food I will miss after I leave Japan and decided I needed to add one drink to the list: Koiwai Brand Milk Coffee. This is the most delicious coffee I have ever had (not that I am an expert). I usually drink one of these bottles of goodness a day. Anyone who has been to Japan can attest to the fact that there are about 2395802 kinds of coffee drinks you can buy from convenient stores and vending machines; while it would be impossible for me to have tried them all, I have tried a lot of them. Hands down Koiwai is the best.


It is the perfect balance of coffee, milk, and sugar (or whatever sweetener they use). Not bitter and not too sweet, just perfect. Here is the description from the label:

The mild flavor of this coffee drink is made using deliciously flavorful milk, which was selected by Koiwai.

If you like coffee (even just a little) you MUST try this coffee. Unless you like your coffee black and bitter, you will think the 147 yen was very well spent. Really it is that good.

There is only one other drink I plan to add is the ever elusive and deliciously sweet, Nectar. Look forward to it.

    Apparently you can order this in bulk if you google for it, eg:

    I prolly prefer the paper-carton version (more full-bodied, less watery perhaps???), but I’m going to try a case of this.

    Although I’m a coffee addict who drinks black coffee all the time, I still wanna try this coffee. It’s Japanese and it’s supposed to have a unique taste.

    Yeah I saw you can buy it from there, but you have to spend like $1000! I love this drink, but I am not sure if I wanna drop that much at once for coffee! :-)

    My wife loves black coffee also loves this one as well from time to time! You should def try it!
