Order's up: The Kodawari Malty Cream is here

Published Feb 26, 2026 9:19 pm

If you find yourself at SM Aura wanting a delicious distraction from the approaching summer heat, head down to Kodawari at the lower ground floor. They have a treat waiting for you.

The smooth and light Kodawari Malty Cream—exclusive in the SM Aura branch—leaves an aftertaste that brings back childhood memories of favorite breakfast malt drinks.

Of course, to fully enjoy this Hokkaido milk and malt, you must first appreciate your surroundings. Kodawari's SM Aura branch, the brand's first stand-alone space in a mall, evokes a retro Japanese coffee shop, complete with a wall-to-wall mural of Gyudog, Kodawari's mascot, driving a pick-up truck in the countryside.

If you are of the opinion that dessert—i.e. the melt-in-your-mouth Malty Cream—comes last in a meal, fill up with some of Kodawari's crowd-favorite donburis, including the Gyudon bowl and Salmon Mentai Don. Try the Tuna Poke Roll Up. Like the Kodawari Malty Cream, it's exclusive to the SM Aura branch. 

Kodawari has three other branches across Makati and Taguig.
