Ezaki Glico will relaunch its long-envisioned PAPICO <Chocolate Coffee> after approximately 4 years of development and nearly 100 prototypes. The product has evolved into a formulation that brings out the original flavors of its ingredients, with an emphasis on aroma and richness.
Ezaki Glico will relaunch PAPICO <Chocolate Coffee> nationwide. The launch is scheduled for Monday, 5 October 2026, following more than 100 rounds of prototyping and refinement based on a concept developed since 2022.
The new formulation combines 2 types of cocoa mass and 2 types of coffee in a simple composition that brings out the original flavors of the ingredients. Care was also taken with the texture as a frozen smoothie, emphasizing aroma and richness.
The PAPICO brand says it will continue to focus on high-quality ingredients and aim to refresh consumers both physically and mentally through its smooth texture and chill.
