This is the Suntory Craft Boss Oh! Imo Latte, a sweet potato-flavoured coffee drink that did not contain actual sweet potato.
The beverage presented with an opaque brown hue. Aroma opened with mellow notes of sweetened coffee, characteristic of the Craft Boss Latte range.
Initial contact delivered a caramelised, sweet milk profile with a full-bodied mouthfeel that coated the palate evenly without feeling heavy. Through the mid-palate, the initial sweetness was restrained by the emergence of deep-roasted espresso notes and soft bitterness, although the sweetness continued to temper the coffee’s intensity. Roasted sweet potato notes were largely confined to the finish and aftertaste, where their earthy sweetness lingered long after the more prominent coffee flavour had receded.
Overall, a flavoured coffee drink with a progression from caramelised milk sweetness to deep-roasted coffee, finishing with lingering earthy sweet potato notes. The full-bodied yet unheavy mouthfeel supported the transition, although the strength of the coffee initially obscured the defining sweet potato character.
This Suntory Craft Boss Oh! Imo Latte contained 500 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2026.
