Experience the Warmth of Winter with Maruyama Coffee's New Sweet Delight: Coffee Shiruko

Embrace the Winter Warmth with Coffee Shiruko from Maruyama Coffee

As the winter chill sets in, nothing warms the heart and body quite like a sweet treat. From January 1 to March 31, 2026, Maruyama Coffee invites you to enjoy their seasonal offering, Coffee Shiruko, which promises to deliver a comforting and flavorful experience.

In Japan, Shiruko is a traditional sweet made from red bean paste, often served warm, and it's beloved for its heartwarming qualities during cold weather. Maruyama Coffee has added a unique twist: combining this beloved treat with smooth, rich coffee, resulting in a delightful blend that encapsulates the essence of winter.

The Coffee Shiruko features a base of sweetened red bean paste made from premium Hokkaido azuki beans, which are well-known for their fine quality. This is thoughtfully combined with a luscious coffee infused with milk, creating a beverage that perfectly balances the bittersweet notes of coffee with the gentle sweetness of the red bean paste. The chewy white mochi dumplings included in the drink enhance the overall texture, offering a delightful contrast.

The blend is not only satisfying for the taste buds but also embodies a beautiful synergy of flavors that highlights the goodness of both coffee and azuki beans. With the meticulous attention to roasting and preparation, the true flavors and aromas of each component shine through, making every sip a cozy moment to savor.

In addition to the launch of Coffee Shiruko, Maruyama Coffee will also have lucky bags available at its stores starting January 1. Shoppers can look forward to delightful surprises and new experiences with coffee, making it a great opportunity to kick off the year. Reservations are not needed, so everyone is encouraged to stop by and enjoy.
