Tasting review of 'Craft Boss Cafe Rich Vanilla Latte Base' that creates a moderate cafe latte when divided with milk

Suntory's 'Just Divide Craft Boss Cafe' series, which allows you to enjoy latte or black coffee just by mixing it with milk or water, will be adding the ' Kokuuma Vanilla Latte Base ' for a limited time from Tuesday, July 1, 2025. This time, a sample was sent to the GIGAZINE editorial department ahead of the release, so I tried it a little earlier.

The cap has the words 'split type' written on it.

It is a 5x diluted type, and the ingredients are 'coffee, sugar, salt, flavoring, sweetener (acesulfame K)'. It has 53 kcal per 100 ml.

The recommended ratio is 1:4 between latte base and milk.

It seems like a rough ratio would be fine, so I mixed it roughly 1:4. When I held the glass up to my nose, I could smell the sweet aroma of vanilla, but when I drank it, the sweetness was subdued for this type of latte, and the sweetness of the milk was just right. Also, the secret ingredient of salt is supposed to bring out the vanilla, but it was a truly wonderful secret ingredient, with almost no salty taste, making it an exquisite vanilla latte.

'Just Break Craft Boss Cafe Rich Vanilla Latte Base' will be released on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, with a suggested retail price of 328 yen (excluding tax).

Amazon.co.jp accepted reservations for a set of 24 bottles for 6,148 yen including tax (256 yen per bottle).

Additionally, Rakuten Ichiba is selling a set of 24 for 7,128 yen.
