A review of 'Craft Boss Numaru Chocolatte' and 'Craft Boss Cafe Reward Chocolat,' which allow you to enjoy the double sweetness and bitterness of chocolate.

Ahead of Valentine's Day on February 14th, Suntory's Craft Boss series will be releasing two new drinks, ' Craft Boss Numaru Chocolat Latte ' and ' Craft Boss Café Reward Chocolat, ' on Tuesday, January 27th, with the theme 'Take care of yourself, Valentine's Day, for the hard-working you.' The drinks, which feature a blend of milk chocolate and bitter chocolate flavors, are said to offer a sophisticated chocolate drink, so I had the opportunity to try them out early.

Craft Boss Numaru Chocolate Latte 500ml PET Bottle Product Information (Calories, Ingredients) Suntory

The ingredients are sugar, milk, coffee, dairy products, dextrin, etc. The calorie content is 43 kcal per 100 ml, so one bottle contains 215 kcal.

I poured the contents into a clear glass.

'Perfect for Valentine's Day, when your sweet tooth is at its peak, this drink features a luxurious sweetness 1.5 times that of a Craft Boss Latte,' and the chocolate aroma wafts through the air, with a sweetness reminiscent of milk chocolate filling your mouth. It also contains a bitter chocolate flavor, but the bitterness isn't particularly noticeable, just a flavor. It tastes like hot chocolate mixed with milk, but it's smooth and easy to drink.

Next, I will try 'Just Break Craft Boss Cafe Reward Chocolate'.

'Just Break Craft Boss Cafe Reward Chocolat' is a coffee drink for dilution. One bottle can make about 10 cups.

The translucent label has markings to make it easy to keep track of the remaining amount of concentrate. It is recommended to mix the concentrate with milk in a roughly 1:4 ratio.

The ingredients are coffee, sugar, flavoring, and sweetener (acesulfame potassium). The content is 340ml. The calorie content is 54kcal per 100ml, so the original liquid alone is about 18kcal per cup (34ml).

Pour one cup of the concentrate into a glass.

Pour in milk and break it up.

When you drink it, you first get a strong taste of the bitterness of the coffee, followed by the soft sweet aroma of chocolate. There's a slight sweetness, but it's not too noticeable amid the bitterness. The milk mellows it out, making it easier to drink, while the bitter flavor of the chocolate is emphasized. When you mix it with warm milk, the milk flavor becomes stronger and the mellowness increases, allowing you to enjoy an even more refined and rich sweetness.

'Craft Boss Numaru Chocolatte' and 'Just Break Craft Boss Cafe Reward Chocolat' will be available for purchase at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide from January 27, 2026. The suggested retail price is 250 yen (excluding tax) for 'Craft Boss Numaru Chocolatte' and 368 yen (excluding tax) for 'Just Break Craft Boss Cafe Reward Chocolat.'
