identity
history
GIGAZINE documented a hot coffee in December 2011. In July 2012, Kosuko described a paper cup with a lid and sleeve and attributed the beans to Starbucks-roasted Kirkland House Blend after asking staff. That account describes the historical serving rather than a current national bean specification. [1] [2]
Ao listed hot coffee and cold brew separately in March 2021. Mochiko’s September 2025 iced-coffee review named Alameda cold brew as its base and praised a smooth, full taste. The retail cartons discussed alongside it are separate purchases. [3] [5]
nutrition
A matched Japanese food-court nutrition panel has not been verified for these servings. Cup capacity, caffeine and calories therefore remain unconfirmed. Milk, syrup and sugar described in the reviews are optional additions; a comparison would need to distinguish the drink as served from a customized order. A visual comparison with another chain's cup is insufficient to establish the amount of coffee poured. [2] [5]
No serving-specific nutrition verified.
