Following the ' Craft Boss Matcha Latte ' that appeared in August 2021, it is said that 'Hojicha', which is becoming more popular in cafe drinks and sweets, has been finished into a refreshing latte, so what kind of taste is it?

The package of 'Craft Boss Hojicha Latte' looks like this.

If you look at the bottom of the bottle, you can see that the ingredients have settled slightly.

The label says, 'Well, it's delicious.' ...

It is recommended to shake it well before drinking.

Shake the bottle well and then pour it into a glass, and the fragrant scent of roasted green tea and the gentle scent of milk will be slightly drifting.

When I drank it immediately, the sweetness of milk and the flavor of roasted green tea were combined, giving the impression that the overall taste was refined. Also, probably because not only roasted barley but also roasted barley and charred sugar are blended, the aftertaste has not only the sweetness of latte but also the crisp and fragrant finish, making it a drink that can be swallowed.

The suggested retail price of 'Craft Boss Hojicha Latte' is 170 yen excluding tax, and it can be purchased at retail stores nationwide from February 15, 2022 (Tuesday).
