Suntory has released a new genre of chilled cup beverages that you can chill in the microwave and drink. There are two lineups, "Hot Boss Tokuno Cafe Latte that melts in the microwave" from the "Boss" brand and "Hot Iyemon Luxury Matcha Latte that melts in the microwave" from the "Iyemon" brand.


In the first place, chilled cup beverages are beverages that are managed in a refrigerated state of 0 to 10 degrees Celsius. Although the expiration date is shorter than that of canned coffee and PET bottled beverages, it is characterized by its fresh taste without spoiling its flavor.

I often buy coffee in chilled cups at convenience stores, but I either drink it cold or transfer it to a heat-resistant cup and then heat it in the microwave.

However, thanks to the "special container", the "Hot that melts in the microwave" series can be put in the microwave and warmed as it is. It's epoch-making, isn't it?


The feeling of warming the chilled cup in the microwave doesn't really come to my mind, so I'll give it a try.

First of all, from Tokuno Cafe Latte. It looks the same as the usual chilled cup, but you can see the difference when you actually hold it in your hand. The texture is smooth and smooth, and when you hit it, it makes a squeak and you can feel the thickness and toughness.

The procedure written on the package is as follows (partially omitted).

1. Please rotate slowly before warming.
2. Do not remove the lid, just put it in the center of the microwave and heat it one by one.
3. Remove the outer lid and enjoy as it is.


In addition, the package also has a guideline for the heating time, so please refer to it. For a microwave oven for home use, it seems that 60 to 90 seconds is a guide depending on the wattage. Let's warm it up.



While I was waiting, I was somehow fidgeting, so I was watching by my side, but I couldn't hear the explosion sound. Even after heating and taking it out, it looked exactly the same before and after putting it in the microwave ... Even if the seal inside expands, a hole will open, and steam will escape from the hole on the lid, so it will not explode.



When I took the lid off, there was another inner lid inside. It's hard to see in the photo, but there are two claws that say "wake up", so hook your finger here and push open the spout that says "PUSH".




When I drank it right away-Wow, it's dark! Rather than the sweetness of sugar, the richness of the milk has a lively mellowness, and it is creamy as if entwined with the tongue. The scent of coffee that gently passes through your nose after swallowing is also exquisite. I would be very happy if I drank this hot on a cold day ...

Next, when I drank Iyemon's matcha latte, the bitterness of matcha slowly chased after the melting milk spread in my mouth. I felt the depth of taste with a deep scent. It's so rich that I think it's a little matcha sweets.


Just in case, I drank it even when it was cold, but I felt that the milkiness was a little weakened in both cases. By warming it, the taste and mouthfeel will be rich. Also, it is definitely better to warm the scent that pops out the moment you open the mouth.

The warmth lasts a long time, so if you buy it at a convenience store and heat it in the microwave as it is, you can go to work or school while keeping your hands, mouth and stomach warm even in winter.

By the way, in order to dispel everyone's anxiety (and for interest), I drastically exceeded the standard time and warmed it for about 200 seconds, but the steam escaped so it did not explode , but the shape of the outer lid is a little It seemed to be distorted and I felt sad because I could remove the inner lid that I couldn't remove when I removed it. Please observe the estimated time.
