UHA Mikakuto Tokuno Milk 8.2 Cafe au Lait Milk Candy with GABA, 93g

A rich, creamy Japanese milk candy from UHA Mikakuto, the maker behind the beloved Tokuno Milk 8.2 line. This Cafe au Lait edition blends extra-thick Hokkaido-style milk with real coffee for a smooth, slightly bittersweet treat that melts slowly on the tongue. It is also a Japanese functional food (kinousei hyouji shokuhin) containing GABA. In the Philippines, where authentic Japanese sweets are prized for pasalubong, office desk snacking, and everyday small luxuries, this is a grown-up candy: a coffee-and-milk pick-me-up that feels like a quiet break in the middle of a busy day.

1. Unwrap one candy and let it dissolve slowly for the fullest coffee-milk flavor.
2. As a functional food, the recommended daily intake is 4 pieces, which provides 28mg of GABA.
