The new product "Caramel Latte" went on sale at the Welcome Shop Kinomi attached to the Farm Market on December 7th. There is a heartwarming story behind the creation of this product.

Bread pudding is served at the buffet at the natural food restaurant "Till's." The caramel sauce that enhances the flavor is handmade by the chef using granulated sugar from Hokkaido beets. It is a special caramel with a slight sweetness and fragrant aroma that gently envelops the strength of the ingredients.

However, because it was handmade, some ingenuity was required in the process. After making the caramel, there was still some caramel stuck to the pot. The chef thought it would be a shame to wash it off, so he came up with the idea of pouring milk into the pot and heating it to melt all the remaining caramel. This is how caramel milk was born. When the staff were served it, its rich and mild flavor was a big hit. It became so popular that before long, they were saying, "We want our customers to enjoy this too."

And that spoonful of idea evolved into the new product "Caramel Latte." This cup of coffee, wrapped in a sweet and bitter aroma, is filled with the love of the staff, the ingenuity of the chef, and casual inspiration. "Caramel Latte" delivers the perfect warmth for the cold winter air. One sip will gently warm your heart.
