Japan's No.1 Milk Candy Brand Launches First-Ever Salt Flavor: Kanro to Release 'Golden Milk Candy Salt Milk'

Kanro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo; President: Tetsuya Murata) will launch 'Golden Milk Candy Salt Milk' nationwide from the 'Golden Milk' series, known for its premium ingredients and high-quality milk taste, starting June 2, 2026.

Since its debut in September 2012, 'Golden Milk Candy' has achieved the top sales position in the milk-flavored candy market, praised for its rich flavor and clean finish. Under the brand purpose 'A gentle drop that creates mellow moments,' it is beloved as a daily premium reward for consumers.

In April 2026, the Japan Meteorological Agency introduced the term 'Extreme Heat Day' (Kokushobi) for days with temperatures over 40°C. With summer heat becoming increasingly severe and the demand for salt candies rising, Kanro developed this first-ever salt variant. The company believes that only 'Golden Milk,' with its focus on natural ingredient quality, can provide a truly premium salt flavor.

'Golden Milk Candy Salt Milk' uses Hokkaido fresh cream and 'AlpenSalz Premium,' a rock salt from the German Alps. By incorporating actual rock salt granules, Kanro has achieved a sophisticated taste where mellow milk and deep salty notes meld together. The packaging maintains the brand's premium identity while featuring a refreshing depiction of the Alps. It is ideal for salt replenishment during outings or as a refreshment between work and chores.
