SO I wake up and my bf runs to the kitchen in front of me saying “I got you a treat”. I’m not very awake and find him running in front of sleepy me kind of annoying. Then he pulls this can out of the fridge…
Now I’m a little curious, but come on it’s coffee… in a can. And more curious when he tells me he got it from the Japanese store up the street and if I like it, well it’s easy to get because that store is so close and it’s less than $1 a can. Come on now. Coffee in a can for less than $1. And then he adds it’s sweet too. Sure. So basically he’s telling me it’s my frappuccinos in a can from Japan? Well now I’m thinking I’m gonna wanna spit it out when I drink it, too good to be true or something.
Let’s start with the basics — the can, nice simple design you’d see in your grandma’s pantry in the 70s, heh. I feel a little ripped off I googled it. I want the anime cans! But yeah. Original blend with Milk blah blah blah… the pioneer of the canned liquid coffee in Japan… umm as opposed to the canned solid coffee? ;) Ok anyway… sorry. The ingredients are things you can pronounce, something not often seen in American products — Water, Sugar, Milk Powder, Coffee, Emulsifier. Calories 140 from fat 10.
And…. the verdict? It tastes good! So if you happen to have a Japanese store nearby give it a try. Sorry to those of you who live in culturally boring areas, HA! But sorry, if you’re left out, you can always just read the wikipedia page on canned coffee so you feel as though you’re one of the cool kids too.
