Coco Smart is a sugar-free coconut beverage that allows you to enjoy the "natural taste" of coconut oil. By emulsifying a spoonful of coconut oil (about 15g (0.53oz)), it is said to be finished so that it can be drunk "deliciously and easily". It is said that you can ingest about 7.6g (0.21oz) of medium-chain fatty acids, which are natural ingredients that are easily used as energy.

There are two flavors, "coconut milk flavor" with a mellow taste and "coffee flavor" with a fragrant and rich flavor. Both come in chilled cups and have a content of 300 ml. The estimated price is 170 yen each (excluding tax).
