Let me take you back to October of 2017. I had made my first trip to the wonderful land of Japan and nestled in among the good people who live there. During my stop in Kyushu, I ran across this BOSS Rainbow Mountain Blend coffee at an AEON Mall. At the behest of my friend who I was staying with at the time, I bought some to consume on the spot. It was already chilled, and as soon as the coffee hit my taste buds, I was in for a real treat. I was sure to buy up some more to take home with me on the flight back to America.

Don't let the 6 oz size fool you. These little coffees pack a wallop and the taste is phenomenal. Even though I'm not one to get cream or sugar in my coffee (as Brian Griffin says, I like mine black as sin), the combo of everything feels just right. The quality of the roast is quite solid. Consisting of slightly woody notes, with not a sign of burnt flavor, this should appease any coffee snob anywhere.

I'm so glad Suntory finally came to their senses and started properly importing this stateside for our enjoyment. The price is certainly higher than your typical Starbucks brew, but this really is a unique experience, almost a rite of passage that everyone should go through, and a good taste of what the Japanese like to call quality coffee.

This beverage gets my seal of approval. Even if you find the price a bit too high, I'd still consider getting one case for the novelty factor and, who knows, maybe you'll get hooked? :)

As a person who's interested in Japanese culture, I was very excited to learn that BOSS coffee was available in the US. I've heard mixed reviews of what Japanese coffee tastes like compared to what we get in the west, but I must say, I tried this stuff and it's a winner. The flavor is a good balance of sugary sweetness and deep richness of the coffee, cut by milk. The cans themselves are itty bitty, but they pack a lot of caffeine into the serving. My only complaint is the price of admission, being $30 for 12 6oz cans (it's so good that I could drink an entire can in seconds!). However, as a little treat after a hard day at work, or as an occasional pick-me-up to get the day started, I think they're quite good for what they are. Now, go make Tommy Lee Jones proud and buy a case!

One more thing: Suntory, if you're reading this, PLEASE bring more flavors to the US! I want to try them all!

Honestly the best coffee drink I've had in a while. Worth the price. Thanks Japan!

My daughter found these in a store and wanted them but shipping was expensive. So I found them here and she loved them. She said it's just enough sugar and milk.

In Japan, people are always on the go; which is why Japan is a country that heavily strives for convenience. Canned Coffee was invented in the 1950's for exactly that purpose. A quick pick me up, in a can, on the go.

Originally conceived by UCC, Suntory absolutely perfected RTD (Ready-To-Drink) canned Coffee in the 90's with their BOSS brand, and with it, the signature "˜Rainbow Mountain Blend'. What separates Rainbow Mountain from the rest, is its undeniable balance, and uncompromising depth of flavor. Not too sweet, not too bitter, small can, but a sizable caffeine dose. Rainbow Mountain has been notorious coveted by aficionado's here in the States for several reasons. For one thing, prominence of Japanese culture has been on the rise for more than a decade, which means some curiosity likely stemmed from the fantastically entertaining "˜Alien Jones' Japanese TV spots featuring the product in Japan (which I highly recommend as a quick but satisfying internet search). Secondly, the product was incredibly difficult to get ahold of before Suntory decided to bring it over. I for one am truly delighted that Suntory graced us with this absolute gem of a product. The BOSS brand has an indelible mantra surrounding it, that embodies the work life culture in Japan. People work hard to be their absolute best, and coffee is a staple that helps empower them. Suntory has applied that ideology into making a superior coffee product that leaves the consumer feeling as though they're "˜The Boss'. That's why BOSS Coffee will always be my #1.
