Sangkaya is nuts for coconuts

Nearly 100 people attended the soft opening of Sangkaya's first store in Japan in western Tokyo's popular Kichijoji district on June 20 before it officially opened the next day. The Malaysian brand of coconut-based sweets and more was launched in 2014 by Mike Mok, with the goal of “Making Healthy Eating Pleasurable.” The company's signature product is its coconut gelato. Made from milk and water extracted from carefully selected coconuts, with no extra coconut oil added, the resulting frozen dessert is vegan, preservative-free and can also be enjoyed by people with lactose intolerance. Most importantly, though, the gelato is absolutely packed with flavor despite its very simple ingredients. One taste of it and you will understand why the coconut is often called a super fruit.
