Nutrition: no verified local serving data.

THE RECORD

identity

Milk and sugar were available on request in Kosuko’s early hot-coffee account. [2] [3] [5]

THE RECORD

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]

THE RECORD

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.

THE RECORD

prices

The table separates hot coffee, cold brew and iced coffee by observation date. Hisayama supplies a named-warehouse hot-coffee price; the later rolling guide supplies an iced-coffee amount without a warehouse. Neither fixes a nationwide change date. [1] [2] [3] [5] [4] [6] [7]

THE RECORD

distinctions

Latte remains a separate milk-and-coffee preparation. Optional milk, sugar and syrup also need to stay attached to the ordered drink; an undated hot-coffee board cannot date when its price began. [2] [3] [5] [7]
